DNS Propagation Checker
Enter a domain and record type: we compare answers from 15 public DNS resolvers run by different operators with the domain's authoritative nameservers and show which ones still return an old value.
How we check, and what this check does not show
Queries go from our server to 15 public resolvers run by different operators over DNS-over-HTTPS, and directly to the domain's authoritative nameservers. Most public DNS services use anycast, so the answer comes from the point of presence nearest to our server, not from servers in different countries. This is a comparison of how different public resolvers see the domain, not a check "from 30 countries".
We cannot see your ISP's resolver, your router or your computer's cache: they may still hold an old answer after every public resolver has updated. Results are cached for 60 seconds.
Why DNS changes take up to 24–48 hours to propagate
A new value appears on the authoritative nameservers almost as soon as you save it in the dashboard. But every resolver that already asked for the record keeps the old answer cached until its TTL expires, and only then asks again. With a TTL of 3600 that is up to an hour; with 86400, up to a day.
Changing nameservers at the registrar takes longest: the delegation in the TLD zone (.com, .uk, .de…) is often cached for 1–2 days. That is where the familiar "24–48 hours" comes from. How to speed up a move and clear your local cache is covered in the guide below.
Datos clave
DNS propagation is the time until public resolvers stop serving the old record from cache (it lives as long as the TTL says). Enter a name and record type: we ask 15 public resolvers and the authoritative servers themselves and show who already sees the new value. This is not “from 30 countries”: we query resolvers from our own server.

- Procesamiento
- On our server: it queries 15 public DNS resolvers over DNS-over-HTTPS and the zone’s authoritative name servers directly, then compares the answers
- Entrada
- A name (domain or subdomain) and a record type: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA or CAA
- Límites
- No sign-up; 6 requests per minute per IP; fresh checks per day: 15 for guests, 45 after sign-in, unlimited for Pro; repeating the same query within a minute comes from cache and uses no quota
- Resultado
- A per-resolver table (value, status, latency), a block with the authoritative NS answers as the current value, and a verdict on whether answers match or differ

Free DNS Propagation Checker
This tool shows whether a domain's DNS records have updated across different public resolvers. We query 15 services in parallel over DNS-over-HTTPS (Google Public DNS, Cloudflare, Quad9, OpenDNS, AdGuard, NextDNS, Control D, Mullvad, DNS.SB, AliDNS, DNS4EU, SWITCH, CZ.NIC, Yandex, IIJ) and ask the zone's authoritative nameservers directly. Each row shows the answer, the remaining TTL and the response time; identical answers are grouped and differences highlighted. Add an expected value, such as your new IP, to see at a glance which resolvers already return it. The check is free; results are cached for 60 seconds.
Cómo usar
- Enter a domain or subdomain (you can paste a page URL; we take the host name from it)
- Pick the record type and, optionally, enter the expected value, such as the new server IP
- Compare the answers with the authoritative nameservers; if some resolvers lag behind, click “Check again” later — their TTL tells you roughly when

Desplaza la tabla hacia los lados
Dónde somos más débiles: there are no per-country locations or map, only 8 record types, 15 resolvers rather than a network of dozens of nodes, and a daily limit.
Cuándo elegir PromoPilot: When you want to know whether a record updated after changing NS, IP or mail and to compare big public DNS caches with the authoritative servers. For “from different countries” checks and local ISPs you need services with distributed vantage points.
