Mobile-First Indexing: What It Means for You
Google indexes the mobile version of your site. If mobile is weaker than desktop, rankings suffer.
Read article →How it works
- Enter a domain (e.g.
example.com) or an IP address (e.g.8.8.8.8). - If you enter a domain, the tool resolves it to its current IP address via DNS.
- It then queries a live geolocation database for that IP.
- You get the full location and network profile, plus a link to view the coordinates on a map.
What it shows
- IP address — the resolved IP and its reverse DNS (PTR) record.
- Location — country, region, city, ZIP and coordinates.
- Timezone — the IP's local timezone.
- ISP & organization — the internet provider and hosting company.
- ASN — the autonomous system number of the network.
Common use cases
- Check where a site is hosted — useful for performance, compliance or due diligence.
- Verify suspicious traffic — see the country and provider behind an IP address.
- Plan regional SEO — confirm a site is hosted close to its target audience.
- Troubleshoot — identify the ISP or data center behind a domain.
Example
Look up 8.8.8.8 and you'll see it belongs to Google LLC, located in the United States, with reverse DNS dns.google and its ASN — a clear picture of the network behind the address.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is IP geolocation?
IP geolocation is highly accurate at the country level and usually reliable to the city level, but it reflects the network's registered location, which can differ from a user's exact physical location — especially behind VPNs, proxies or CDNs.
Does hosting location affect SEO?
It has a minor effect. Hosting closer to your audience can slightly improve load times, and the server's country can be a weak signal for geo-targeting, though a CDN largely neutralizes the distance factor.
Can I look up my own server?
Yes — enter your domain to confirm its IP, host and location. To inspect the server's response in more detail, use the HTTP Header Checker and check DNS with the DNS Records Lookup.
