Slow Google

Have you had any issues using Cloudflare's DNS?

Using Afrihost's DNS, I always experienced slow responses, slow YouTube, Tumblr videos were at most times, unresponsive, had a few of the technical sites I frequented, at odd times just timeout... A lot of the times, image loading would just timeout, site loading was like, so delayed, I frequently hit that Refresh button.

Using the 1.1.1.1 DNS, most sites are now very responsive, YouTubes starts playing almost immediately, Tumblr just works, even the videos, every site I visit, all the images load, since changing over, I have almost forgotten about the Refresh button. For me it really is "Pure Internet Joy: I will state, this does not affect the speed of your line, just the response, and that alone gives you the impression of a faster Internet!

We'd still always recommend using our DNS - 1.1.1.1 is developed by Cloudflare (AFAIK) so it is a reliable source, but they won't always prioritise local services and response. We can compensate much faster for changes or problems on our custom DNS cluster.

Sorry, but not convincing enough
I'm sticking to where I get the best Internet experience from :twisted:

No worries! As long as you have the best experience possible!
