What it shows

It reads the page you are on — there is no separate lookup form.

DNS records

A and AAAA records with TTL, geolocation for the first address, the remaining records grouped for expansion, and one-click copy for any IP.

WHOIS details

Registrar, creation and expiry dates, domain age, name servers, DNSSEC status and readable domain statuses.

SSL / TLS

Certificate subject and issuer, validity, SANs, public key, TLS version, cipher, ALPN, HTTP/2, forward secrecy and the connected IP.

Quick site grade

An S/A/B/C/D/F grade and a 0–100 score based on the certificate, HTTPS/TLS, HTTP/2, IPv6, DNSSEC and domain data. An invalid certificate caps the grade at C; missing data is marked as a partial score.

Built for the sidebar

Click the toolbar icon to open a right-side panel. No navigation, no new tab. For HTTP pages, TCPLab checks port 443 and explains it in the UI.
