"I changed URL and DNS is propagated but some users still see old site"
There could be several reasons for this behavior, including:
- Cached DNS records: DNS records may still be cached on your device, network, or along the way to the website, causing old host information to persist.
- Router or modem caching: Some routers and modems cache DNS information and may need to be rebooted to clear the cache.
- DNS Propagation: It can take some time for changes in DNS records to propagate across the internet, up to 72 hours in some cases.
- Browser cache: Your browser may be caching old DNS information, try clearing your browser cache and cookies.
- Old host redirection: The old host may have set up a redirect from the old server to the new server, which may persist for a period of time.
It is recommended to try clearing cache and cookies on your device, checking your router and modem settings, and waiting for sufficient time for DNS propagation to complete. If the issue persists, it might be helpful to contact your new host's technical support for assistance.
