DNS TXT Record

Sitecheck Team

Stores arbitrary text data for a domain, often for verification.

A TXT record stores arbitrary text for a domain. It is commonly used for domain verification and email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC).

Why it matters: TXT records protect email reputation and enable service verification.

Quick tips:

  • Keep SPF records under the 10-lookup limit.
  • Use separate TXT records for DKIM selectors.
