Here at Yazaroo, efficiency is everything. Over the years, we’ve found ourselves repeatedly reaching for the same types of digital utilities to speed up our daily workflows. Eventually, we decided to just build them ourselves.
We originally created Yazaroo Tools strictly for internal use, but we quickly realized that if these utilities were saving us this much time, they could probably help you, too. That’s why we’ve decided to make them publicly accessible, completely free of charge.
We will be rolling out a wider range of tools over the next few months, but we are kicking things off today with two of our most-used favorites: our URL Cleaner and our DNS Lookup tool.
The Yazaroo URL Cleaner
Have you ever copied a link to share with a colleague or client, only to realize it’s five lines long and packed with tracking codes?
What it does: Our URL Cleaner instantly strips away unnecessary tracking parameters (like UTM tags, affiliate codes, and session IDs) from any web address, leaving you with the shortest, cleanest version of the link.
Why it’s useful: Cleaner sharing: Long, messy URLs look like spam when shared in emails, slack messages, or on social media. Clean URLs look professional and trustworthy.
-
Better privacy: It removes the tracking data marketers use to follow clicks across the web.
-
SEO best practices: It helps you identify the true canonical URL of a page without the extra clutter.
The Yazaroo DNS Lookup
When you’re launching a new website, migrating a domain, or troubleshooting an email delivery issue, you need to see exactly what’s happening behind the scenes of a domain name.
What it does: The DNS Lookup tool allows you to instantly check the current Domain Name System (DNS) records for any website. Just type in the domain, and we’ll pull up the A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, and NS records in seconds.
Why it’s useful: * Troubleshooting: Quickly verify if your domain is pointing to the correct server IP address after a migration.
-
Email setup: Check your MX and TXT records to ensure your email authentication (like SPF) is set up properly.
-
Instant verification: No need to open up a command terminal; get the data you need right from your browser.
