PageSpeed Insights DNS Issue

[daedriccarl]

Hi

Anyone else having problems with Google's Pagespeed tool? I am trying to benchmark a couple of my sites but, according to Google, my sites are not loading. They will work when I run them through the test at one point but if I try again, say 15 mins later, they will present the following error message

An error has occured

DNS error while resolving DOMAIN. Check the spelling of the host, and ensure that the page is accessible from the public Internet. You may refresh to try again.

If the problem persists, please visit the PageSpeed Insights mailing list for support.

This isn't too much an issue for testing page speed but am concerned that if Google is getting this error on the speed test it will also get the error when trying to crawl and index the pages.

I can confirm the sites are up and running. I the sites are pointed at the server via A-records and haven't been changed for many weeks so cannot be a dns updating issue.  Am at a loss to explain.

Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks.

Hi, you can check your dns config here:

http://dnscheck.pingdom.com. If problems with resolving your domain. ask you  hostingprovider to set the dns right. otherwise you have to do it yourself in you hosting configuration tool like direct admin or plex.

Grtz, Leonie

thanks, very useful tool. None of my domains passed but i can still access them.  Will try moving away from A record set up and use nameservers instead

It looks like you have some NS problems according to IntoDNS. The largest issue is that you have 4 nameservers listed with your registrar but only 2 are listed in your DNS.

~]$ dig NS yoactive.co.uk
;; ANSWER SECTION:
yoactive.co.uk.         86400   IN      NS      ns2.ccgdigitalmarketing.com.
yoactive.co.uk.         86400   IN      NS      ns1.ccgdigitalmarketing.com.

You should have a NS record for each DNS server. Also, your SOA is set to expire in... 5 weeks?! That's crazy long.

If you can't get this resolved with your host, you can always try CloudFlare, a free DNS + proxy service.

Hi

Thanks for looking at the issue. There should be four working nameservers. I have four set in both WHM and at my domain registrar. I added two more two (3 and 4) so maybe they are taking a while to resolve around the web.

Will look at the SOA, thanks. Server and domain set up isn't at the top of my skill set. The domain you mention in this thread is just a testing domain to see what happens with a certain kind of content so it hasn't been treated too seriously to be honest.
