IPv6 Test
Check whether a domain publishes IPv6 (AAAA) DNS records.

Why Use the IPv6 Test Tool
As the Internet transitions away from IPv4, ensuring your website is accessible via IPv6 is essential for global reach and modern network compatibility. This tool queries DNS servers to check if your domain has a valid AAAA record and resolves to an IPv6 address.
Benefits of IPv6
Major mobile networks, ISPs, and next-generation devices prioritize IPv6 traffic. Supporting it can lead to slightly faster page load times for mobile users. It eliminates the need for Network Address Translation (NAT) and provides efficient packet routing. Adopting IPv6 ensures your website is ready for the future.
Pass and fail
| Result | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pass | One or more AAAA records exist for the domain. |
| Fail | No AAAA records were returned. The domain may still work over IPv4 only. |
Finding AAAA records means the domain is configured for IPv6 in DNS — not a guarantee that every service accepts IPv6 traffic.
What the Tool Shows
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| IPv6 DNS | Ready when AAAA records exist; Not ready when none are found. |
| AAAA records | Count of IPv6 address records. |
| Table | Each record’s name, IPv6 address, and TTL when provided. |
How to Use It
Enter a domain or URL (for example example.com), then click Check IPv6.
For all DNS record types, use DNS Record Lookup. For CAA records, use CAA Record Lookup.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. The tool only queries DNS for AAAA records. It does not verify that a web server accepts connections over IPv6.
Pass means at least one AAAA record was returned for the domain. Clients can resolve the hostname to an IPv6 address; actual reachability depends on your hosting and network path.
The tool resolves DNS for that hostname; it is not for reverse lookups of a raw IPv6 literal.
