Inspect DNS propagation of a record

The same question goes to 12 public resolvers run by different companies in 7 countries, and their answers, TTLs and response times are grouped so disagreements stand out.

Interpret the result

If some resolvers still show the old value, wait for the old record's TTL to expire; if none show the new one, check the change at your DNS provider.

Prioritize fixes

Resolvers are anycast, so this compares providers rather than cities, and sites that load-balance may legitimately return different addresses.
