About DNSSEC Checker
DNSSEC Checker queries a validating public resolver for a domain's DNSKEY records and reports whether they exist and whether that resolver was able to cryptographically validate the chain of trust back to the root.
Use this to confirm DNSSEC is actually working after setting up signing with a registrar or DNS provider, rather than just assuming it is because a setting was toggled on somewhere.
DNSKEY records existing but validation failing usually means a DS record is missing or wrong at the registrar, which breaks the chain of trust even though the domain's own DNS provider is doing everything correctly on its end.
