How to manage DNSSEC protection in Elementor

DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) adds a layer of security to your domain to prevent DNS spoofing and hijacking. In Elementor, you can enable this feature by navigating to the Manage DNS tab. If using Elementor Name Servers, the setup is automatic; for external providers, you must manually enter the DNSKEY data.
