Tracking domain checker for cold email
Check whether a branded cold email tracking domain has the DNS and HTTPS basics it needs before campaign links go live.
- Checks
- Checks the CNAME, DNS resolution, HTTPS response, and redirect handoff for one tracking hostname.
- Cannot tell
- Browser security can hide some redirect details, so an unavailable hop remains Unknown.
Expected time: about 5 to 20 seconds. Some public services can take longer.
Source: Live Google Public DNS plus a browser HTTPS request. Cross-origin policy can make a redirect hop Unknown.
Questions
A tracking domain is the branded host used for click and open tracking links, such as links.yourdomain.com. It usually points to the sending tool with a CNAME.
It checks whether the tracking host has a CNAME target, resolves in DNS, accepts HTTPS in the browser, and appears to hand off to the tracking service.
Prospects, browsers, and link scanners open tracking URLs over HTTPS. A certificate failure can turn a real click into a browser warning or a campaign risk.
No. Tracking is only the Links part of launch QA. A real signoff also checks sending-domain authentication, inbox setup, blacklist status, domain age, and receiver requirements.
