• WarningDNS_RESOLVER_TIMEOUT

  The DNS resolver did not answer in time.

  A single timeout is a technical failure during the check and does not show whether the domain is configured correctly. Repeated timeouts can point to unreachable or misconfigured nameservers.

  Recommendation: Retry the check later. If it keeps timing out, check that the domain's nameservers respond.
