## What the SPF Checker Analyzes

### SPF Record Verification

Retrieves and displays the live SPF record from DNS, confirming which mail servers are authorized to send on behalf of your domain.

### Status & Validation

Checks syntax, mechanism usage, and qualifier correctness according to RFC 7208 so you can spot and fix issues before they impact deliverability.

### DNS Lookup Count

Counts the exact number of DNS lookups and warns you if you're approaching or exceeding the RFC-mandated 10-lookup limit.

### Authorized IPs & Mechanisms

Breaks down every ip4, ip6, include, a, and mx mechanism so you can see exactly which servers are permitted to send email.

## Why Use the Free SPF Checker?

### Improved Email Deliverability

Correctly configured SPF records reduce bounce rates and help your emails land in the inbox instead of the spam folder.

### Enhanced Email Security

Prevent spoofing and phishing attacks by verifying that only authorized servers can send email from your domain.

### Compliance with Standards

Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo require proper SPF. Our tool checks your record against RFC 7208 and industry best practices.

### User-Friendly Results

Clear, actionable output with error alerts, lookup counts, and recommendations - no DNS expertise required.

## Monitor your DMARC authentication

DMARC Report tracks SPF, DKIM, and DMARC results across all your domains. Identify failures and move toward full enforcement.
