What each check does

Ping

Sends small packets to a host and measures how long they take to come back. Useful for spotting outages or high latency.

DNS Lookup

Shows how a domain resolves and which records are attached. Usually the first thing to check when a domain is pointed wrong.

Traceroute

Maps the path a request takes across the internet, hop by hop. Useful for diagnosing slow routes or blocked regions.

WHOIS

Looks up who owns a domain, when it was registered, and when it expires.

SSL check

Fetches a site's certificate to confirm it's valid, trusted, and not about to expire.

Security Headers New

Checks for the handful of security-related HTTP headers browsers look for, and reports which ones are set.

Blacklists New

Looks up a host's IPv4 address against public spam and abuse blacklists. This is the same signal mail servers use to decide whether to bounce a message.

DNS Propagation New

Queries a domain against several major public resolvers side by side, to check whether a DNS change has propagated everywhere yet.
