DNS & Web Requests Concept Map Template for Faster Troubleshooting
Visualizes the end‑to‑end path from client and DNS resolution to CDN, TLS, and HTTP responses.
What This Template Offers
A ready‑to‑use concept map that clarifies how DNS and web requests move from the client through resolvers, CDN, and origin with caching and TTLs.
- End‑to‑end DNS resolution and HTTP lifecycle in one view
- Clear nodes: client, resolvers, root/TLD, authoritative, CDN, origin
- Shows caching and TTL relationships at browser, resolver, and CDN
- Highlights TCP/TLS handshakes, headers, and status codes
- Easy, no‑code edits to colors, labels, and hierarchy
Perfect Use Cases
Incident Postmortems
Pinpoint where latency or timeouts happen across DNS and web requests—cache misses, resolver hops, TLS delays, or origin bottlenecks.
Architecture Reviews & Design Docs
Explain CNAMEs to CDN, cache policies, and origin failover. Standardize how you document DNS resolution flow and HTTP delivery.
Onboarding & Training
Teach new engineers the DNS and web requests lifecycle using a clean, visual map that’s easy to explore and share.
Change Planning & Migrations
Model TTL strategies before cutovers, show validation paths (304), and plan cache purges to minimize user impact.
How to Customize
Add your nodes and relationships
Paste the flow you use—client, browser cache, resolver, root, TLD, authoritative, CDN, origin, and response paths.
Label metrics and headers
Annotate TTLs, cache‑hit ratios, latencies (DNS, TCP, TLS, TTFB), and key headers like Cache‑Control, ETag, and Vary.
Style and share
Adjust colors and grouping, then download, share a link, or embed in docs, runbooks, and dashboards.
