About the DNS Propagation Checker

When you change a DNS record — move hosting, point a domain, add email — the change doesn't reach everyone at once. Each DNS server keeps a cached copy until its time-to-live (TTL) runs out, so for a while some countries see the new value and others still see the old one. That is DNS propagation.

Nuqti asks 36 public DNS servers across 30 countries for your record at the same moment, groups the answers, and shows on a world map which locations already see the new value. The headline number is the share of servers that agree with the majority answer.

Frequently asked questions

How long does DNS propagation take?

Usually minutes to a few hours; up to 48 hours in the worst case. It depends on the old record's TTL — a TTL of 3600 means servers may keep the old answer for up to one hour.

Why do some locations show a different IP?

They still have the old record cached, or your domain uses geo-routing/CDN that gives each region its nearest server (that's normal for big sites).

Can I speed up propagation?

Lower the TTL (e.g. to 300 seconds) a day before a planned change. After the change, you can't force other servers to refresh — you can only wait for their cache to expire.

Which record types can I check?

A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, SOA and CAA — pick the type next to the domain box.
