What the global map measures
We request one Globalping probe in each of the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, India, Singapore, Japan, Australia, Brazil, South Africa and Canada. Each probe asks its system DNS resolver for your chosen record type. Map markers use the location reported for the probe; the resolver itself may be elsewhere. Unavailable countries remain visible in the results table.
How to read the results
Green locations share the most common complete answer set. Amber indicates another answer set, or a tie when no set is most common. Record order and TTL differences are ignored when comparing. Red means no records, a DNS error or an unavailable probe. A matching result is not proof that a new value is correct; compare it with your intended DNS configuration. CDNs can intentionally return different answers by region.
Checks, caching and fair use
Results update automatically while probes run and may then be cached for a short time. The timestamp shows when the measurement started. The free service has a shared hourly allowance, so repeated checks can be temporarily limited. Only the public hostname and record type are sent to Globalping. These measurements are public diagnostics; do not enter confidential names. This sample cannot prove every internet provider worldwide has refreshed its cache.
