DNS benchmark tool

[BBSA]

I put together a quick tool that tests DNS resolver speeds directly from your browser. It probes Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, OpenDNS, AdGuard, NextDNS, ControlD, CleanBrowsing, and several others, then ranks them by average latency. You can also add your own.

Anyone interested can have a look:

DNS Benchmark Tool - Compare Resolver Speeds

Test DNS resolver speeds from your browser. See which DNS is fastest for your location.

makes zero noticeable difference to the human eye .Focus on the loading speed of the website rather then dns.Btw iam using the google dns server which is ranked 8th slowest , and DNS resolution is immediate.

You're right, but some of us geeks like playing with these things

Ive never understood it. So many better places you can check for latency (ie routing). DNS is not something that Ive ever considered. But hey, if some people wanna min max their DNS, why not. A tool like winmtr is a better tool to detect latency issues and see where bottlenecks are.

Hopefully these geeks has done the tour of duty playing around with locally hosted dns sever setups...

Some of these come with adblocking which makes a huge difference.

Whichever AI you're coding with really seems to like small text & layouts. Exactly the same as your car / uber site. Pie compare site next?

..also pingplotter.

Heck, even pathping.

DNS is such a weird thing to look at for any sort of lag/delay because once it's in the cache, all requests receive instant response from the cache... as long as it's within TTL

most likely they lack a under the hood understanding of how networking works

He/she is properly not in max or heavy tiers but n00b / beginner

Who the **** hasn't setup their own routing and dns sever by now with caching and fallover?

Jesus we did this **** back in day before there were these fancy routing and smart dns services...

Exactly this. Personally, I set a large cache with a max TTL of 2 weeks, redirect all DNS requests to router with a simple firewall rule, use a static cache of things I want to block in combination with an adlist that updates automatically...



PS, not many matches on my adlist since router firmware was updated on Sunday...

Just had a lekker chow and a few glasses of wine, but this thread was still stuck in the back of my mind... If anything, (depending on router) a layered approach will provide the best networking performance. Mangle rules, simple queues, and DNS redirection. Especially for SOHO & SME environments with many devices.

Please check again, it should be better now.
