If you’ve just updated your domain settings and your site isn’t loading correctly yet, you’re probably experiencing DNS propagation — and it’s completely normal.
DNS is essentially the internet’s address book. When someone types your domain, their device asks a DNS server where your site lives. To keep things fast, these servers temporarily store (“cache”) the answer. When you change your DNS records, those cached copies around the world need time to expire and refresh.
This is why a change you made can appear to work for you but not for a friend, or work on your phone but not your laptop. Different servers update at different speeds.
Propagation typically takes anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, and occasionally up to 24–48 hours in slower cases. There’s no way to force the entire internet to update instantly, but you can check progress using a free online DNS propagation checker.
While you wait, avoid making repeated changes — each new edit restarts the clock. If everything still looks wrong after 48 hours, raise a ticket and we’ll take a look.
