whatsmydns.net
whatsmydns.net lets you instantly perform a DNS lookup to check a domain name's current IP address and DNS record information against multiple nameservers located in different parts of the world. You can test changes made to new or existing domains and see if they have been updated correctly without the need to manually query remote servers. This gives you immediate insight into how users globally may be resolving DNS records for your website, email or other online service. Many operating systems include DNS tools to check DNS records manually for diagnosing problems. However, using these tools can be complicated to understand for non-technical people which is why the whatsmydns.net DNS checker was created to help with quickly checking DNS propagation.

FRED
FRED is a comprehensive tool that simulates the propagation of light through optomechanical systems using ray tracing. It supports both coherent and incoherent light propagation and allows users to assign realistic surface properties to every component in a system. Key features include fast and accurate simulation of various light sources, such as lasers, arc lamps, LEDs, ideal emitters, bulbs, and user-defined ray sets. The software offers advanced geometry, scatter, optimization, scripting, and graphic tools, along with fine-grain control of ray trace properties during simulations. It provides comprehensive post-trace analysis features and reports, real-time visualization and editing of complex optical and mechanical systems, and is highly extensible via user-defined scripts. FRED provides core capabilities for propagating light through optomechanical systems.

DNSPropagation.net
DNS propagation check is useful when you switched web host or started a new website and you just changed your domain DNS name servers from your domain registrar. This tool will perform a free DNS lookup against your IP address and will confirm if the website is completely propagated worldwide or not. There are ways to speed up DNS propagation, the first one is to use a good provider like the ones mentioned before. The other thing you can do to improve DNS propagation time is to set your DNS zone TTL low. When you migrate your website and make DNS changes you want the DNS switchover to happen as fast as possible. You can switch your current TTL and reduce the time before you perform the migration. 600 (10 minutes) is a good TTL value, you must do it at least 24 hours before the migration. 10 minutes before making the change, you can set it even lower, to 60 (1 minute).
