DNS lookup

Everything DNS says about a domain: traced from the root servers down, every record type asked of the domain's own nameservers, each nameserver checked, then every hostname and policy record it points at followed, with SPF, DMARC, DKIM and DNSSEC checked along the way.

Try example.com, gmail.com, www.github.com, dnssec-failed.org, 1.1.1.1. A URL, e-mail address or IP address works too.

Normal when two DNS providers serve the zone, each numbering its own copy; otherwise some servers haven't picked up the latest change.

Highlighted values differ from the authoritative answer: either a recent change they haven't picked up yet (the TTL says how long until they do), or, for A and AAAA, a CDN or geo-routed site handing each resolver location its own addresses.
