The 1.1.1.1 Purge Cache tool is designed for web administrators and developers who need to update DNS records quickly. It allows users to refresh the DNS cache for specific domain names on Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver, ensuring faster propagation of updated DNS records.
The tool is straightforward to use: simply enter the domain name, select the DNS record type, and click 'Purge Cache.' It supports various DNS record types, including A, AAAA, CNAME, DNSKEY, DS, MX, NAPTR, NS, PTR, SPF, SRV, SSHFP, TLSA, and TXT.
This tool is particularly useful when you've moved your website to a new hosting provider or changed your DNS settings. Normally, DNS changes can take up to three hours to propagate due to caching. With the Purge Cache tool, you can force an immediate update, reducing downtime and ensuring your visitors can access your site from its new location without delay.
