Start with cache age
A lower remaining TTL can explain why one resolver is closer to refreshing an older answer.
Independent DNS observations
See DNS answers from where they are measured.
Run one DNS lookup across sampled global and private probe locations. Compare exact answers, TTL values, probe status and response time without turning public anycast addresses into invented locations.

QUERY / DNS
Run a DNS check
Lookup requests are protected against cross-site submission and rate limited.
Observation desk
DNS results
Every row is one sampled probe observation. Agreement describes matching answers among probes that returned data; it is not an uptime or country-wide propagation score.
Ready for a lookup
Enter a domain and choose a record type to populate the observation map and result table.
Querying DNS probes
Waiting for DNS responses. Slow or unavailable nodes will keep their own status.
The DNS check could not finish
Check the domain and try again.
No probe observations returned
No measurement source supplied an observation for this request. This does not mean the DNS record is absent or has not propagated.

Reported probe coordinates
Markers use the latitude and longitude reported for the probe that ran each observation.
No valid probe coordinates were returned for this lookup.
Probe observations
Compare complete values before deciding that two DNS answers agree. Global country and city measurements are powered by Globalping community probes.

Read the evidence
A propagation check is a cache comparison.
DNS does not move across the internet as one synchronized event. Recursive resolvers cache answers for a period defined by TTL, and different observations may change at different times.
Compare full answer sets
Multiple A, AAAA, MX or TXT values can be valid. Agreement is based on complete returned values.
Trust declared locations
A probe location describes where the query ran. It does not claim that an anycast resolver has a fixed country.
