How long does DNS propagation take for CNAME records?

DNS propagation time for CNAME records varies depending on your DNS provider and global network conditions.

Typical Propagation Times:

  • Fastest: 5-10 minutes with some providers.
  • Average: 1-2 hours for most providers.
  • Maximum: Up to 24 hours in some cases.

Factors Affecting Propagation:

  • Your DNS provider's refresh intervals.
  • Geographic location of DNS servers.
  • TTL (Time To Live) settings on your domain.
  • Internet service provider caching policies.

How to Check Propagation:

  • Use online DNS checker tools to verify propagation across different locations.
  • Try the verification button in your QRCodeChimp White Label Settings after waiting.
  • Test from different devices and networks.

Recommendation: Wait at least 2-4 hours before contacting support if verification is still failing, as most DNS changes complete within this timeframe.
