Root domain configuration issue

I have the following DNS config for my custom domain on GoDaddy


Even though it has been more than 48hrs after configuration, A record for my root domain hasn’t been propagated properly. Netlify shows ‘Check DNS configuration’ for my root domain smashtaps.com (www.smashtaps.com works fine)

Please advise. Thanks!

Don’t worry. I can refer to https://smashtaps.com/ .
It looks like your environment still has a name server cache.
Check DNS configuration is the state of the name server as seen by Netlify,
but it is not all of the world.

Also this is the result of nslookup (I’m using Windows, not dig):

> nslookup smashtaps.com
Name:    smashtaps.com
Address:  104.198.14.52

But some of the sources refer to http, which may have a negative effect on Chrome.
If you are already using Chrome 81 or later, you are affected.

Hi, @sms. Yes, I’m seeing the domain working with and without the www and the SSL certificate includes both as well.

It does appear the SSL certificate was updated on Mar 19 at 9:56 PM PST/PDT. Based on that I would guess that whatever the underlying issue was, it was resolved around that time.

The DNS record caching is my best guess as to the root cause:

This caching is controlled by the time to live (TTL) value in the previous DNS record, not the new DNS record. It is hard say now why it took so long to update. The previous record would have the answer to that but it isn’t active now.

If there are other questions about this, please let us know.

Thanks all. It’s working now.
