Could you lose the domain, or part of it?

What the check does, and where it stops.

What it reads

The registry's expiry and registration dates. Inside 30 days fails and inside 90 warns. A domain the registry shows held for five years or more warns rather than fails in its last 30 days, locked or not. One still unrenewed a week after its expiry date also caps your score at 59.

Why it matters

A lapsed domain can be bought by anyone, along with every email sent to it.

What a failure looks like

A failure is a finding in your result. The check is scored, so it can lower your score, and the Full Report gives every finding its severity and a fix. If the check cannot finish, it is recorded as unknown: it carries no penalty, and it is never a pass.

Where its limits are

Reports unknown for the few domain endings whose registry does not publish the date.
