How is domain age calculated?

Domain age is calculated as the time elapsed from the domain's original registration date (creation date) in the WHOIS registry registry to the current date.

Why is domain age important for SEO?

Older domains are often trusted more by search engines like Google because they have had more time to build backlinks, authority, and content history, which helps them rank easier.

RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol) is the modern, structured replacement for traditional WHOIS lookups, allowing web browsers to query domain registry data via standard JSON API protocols.

How do I check DNS records with this tool?

Simply enter a domain name. The tool queries Google's public DNS-over-HTTPS API directly from your browser to pull live A, MX, NS, and TXT configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do some domains fail to load via RDAP? +

Many registrars block direct browser queries via CORS headers to protect privacy. If a domain fails, toggle our WHOIS Parser tab, paste the raw lookup data, and the tool will immediately calculate age metrics.

How long is domain history valid? +

DNS records update almost instantly, but WHOIS updates can take 24–48 hours to propagate across global registry caches when details or ownership records change.

Can I use this tool to check domain availability? +

Yes. If the search returns a CORS fail or empty RDAP registry and the DNS lookup yields zero records, it is highly likely that the domain is currently available for purchase.

What is the maximum registration length? +

Domains can be registered for a maximum of 10 years at a time. Some premium registries permit extensions or automatic multi-year renewal options.
