Does this traceroute output mean I set up DNS incorrectly?

Hello, all. My first time here. Recently, I moved my freelancer website from Webflow to Netlify. Yesterday, I reconfigured my DNS settings on Squarespace so that traffic to my site, “orthogonal.agency,” points to Netlify. Everything appears to be working correctly. I don’t have any problems reaching my website. However, just as a check, I ran a traceroute and am seeing the following output, and I’m wondering if I haven’t configured my DNS properly. Here’s what I see:

traceroute www.orthogonal.agency
traceroute: Warning: www.orthogonal.agency has multiple addresses; using 54.215.62.21
traceroute to orthogonal-agency.netlify.app (54.215.62.21), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets

I’m concerned about the “has multiple addresses” part. Here are the two DNS records I created on Squarespace:

Host                   Type               Priority    Data
@                       ALIAS            -               apex-loadbalancer.netlify.com
www                   CNAME         -               orthogonal-agency.netlify.app

I also set “www.orthogonal.agency” as my Primary domain. I should add that I did delete the four records Webflow requires you to have.

Have I misconfigured my DNS?

Thanks!

DNS is ideally confirmed by dig and not traceroute. Your DNS is correctly configured though.

dig A +short @8.8.8.8 orthogonal.agency
99.83.231.61
75.2.60.5

dig CNAME +short @8.8.8.8 www.orthogonal.agency
orthogonal-agency.netlify.app.
