Free Webmaster Tools from SiteBoma

These are the checks our own team runs every day, opened up to site owners, developers and IT people everywhere. You need no account, you will see no ads and there is no daily lookup cap.

DNS Lookup

Pull the A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, SOA and CAA records of a domain. Handy during a move to new hosting, when email stops arriving, or to confirm nameservers.

WHOIS Lookup

Look up the registrant, the registrar and the key dates of a domain name. Supports .com, .co.ke and more than 1,000 further TLDs.

Domain Age Checker

Find out when a domain was first registered. Good for sizing up SEO competitors and for checking that a site is genuine before you deal with it.

Who Hosts This Website?

Learn which provider hosts a website from its reverse DNS, ASN owner, IP geolocation and server location. A quick way to research competitors.

IP Lookup

Enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address to see its country, location, ISP and ASN. Helpful for reading server logs, analysing traffic and setting up geo-targeting.

SSL Checker

Read the SSL certificate a site presents: who issued it, when it runs out and how it is signed. Spot a problem before your visitors meet a warning.

HTTP Headers Checker

View the status code and response headers a URL returns, from caching rules to security headers like HSTS, CSP and X-Frame. A fast way to audit your site's security.

Redirect Chain Checker

Trace each 301 or 302 step between a URL and the page it finally lands on. Shows loops, slow chains and any drop from HTTPS to HTTP.

Website Speed Test

See how quickly a URL answers when one of our servers requests it, with TTFB, total time and download size.

Email Blacklist Checker

Test an IP address or domain against well-known DNSBLs such as Spamhaus, SpamCop, Barracuda and SORBS. Essential when your email has to reach inboxes.

Robots.txt Checker

Download a site's robots.txt and read it broken down into user-agent rules, allowed and blocked paths, and listed sitemaps.

Meta Tag & SERP Preview

Preview a page as it would look in Google results and in shares on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter/X, with its Open Graph, Twitter card, canonical and robots tags.

.htaccess Generator

Tick the rules you need and get a ready .htaccess for Apache or LiteSpeed, built from well-tried rules: HTTPS and www redirects, Gzip, caching, security headers and WordPress hardening.

JSON Formatter

Format, compress or check JSON without it ever leaving your browser.

URL Encoder / Decoder

Convert URLs and query strings to percent-encoding and back. It all runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

Base64 Encoder

Turn text into Base64 or decode it again, with an optional URL-safe mode. Runs only on your device.

Hash Generator

Get the MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512 digest of any text, worked out in your browser with crypto.subtle.

Password Generator

Create random passwords from a cryptographically secure source, choosing the length and character sets yourself. Nothing leaves your browser.
The story behind them

The everyday toolkit for running a website, always free.

Running a hosting company means reaching for checks like these dozens of times every day. Putting them online for everyone else seemed the obvious next step.

You won't hit a sign-up wall or get cut off after three lookups, and there are no tracking pixels selling what you search for. The tools are kept simple and quick, and they run on the same servers that host our customers' sites.

Missing something you would use? Send us the idea. When a tool would help other site owners, there is a good chance we will add it.

Domain ready? Give it a home.

Pay by card or M-Pesa and be online in less than 10 minutes. SSL and migration cost nothing, and support comes from real people in Nairobi.
