It shouldn't say that, because Internet activity can alter response times based on the time you ran the program. But it needs to back off on the claim after every run that some server you selected as one of your defaults is "absolutely" slower than X others. Is probably the best program on the Web for determining DNS response times. So you can identify the top 3 DNS on one scan, but a scan only a few minutes later identifies one different DNS or tells you the order in which you've designated your DNS is incorrect. Next, select the Network tab, and click the 3 dots to choose Dock Side position mine is on the bottom.Response times change during the day. To test page load times yourself, open Chrome, visit cnn. Without ad blocking, it's actually requests! Many of those requests require a round-trip DNS requests, including various off items.Īll those lookup milliseconds can quickly add up to several seconds total, partly because of the sequential loading that some page elements require. Yes, today, it requires requests just to finish loading, and that's with ad blocking turned on. Did you know that loading many popular web sites require hundreds of requests for various elements? This is especially the case for media-rich home pages, such as cnn. The speed difference isn't always as apparent though, when using consumer grade routers. You know, physics and all, that speed-of-light thing. I do regret removing my own home's Ubiquiti Just like Steve's Also note that such local DNS from a local router will be fastest, as it's a local lookup with essentially no pesky distance-based latency. How do I know this was released today? By the digital signature in the executable file. I noticed that Cloudflare and Quad9 primary and secondary DNS IP addresses have now been baked right into the tool, so you won't have to add them manually, making things even simpler, see also my step-by-step guide below.Īs featured in my recent Cloudflare 1.
This is why I'm not at all worried that my recent set of screensheets that I took when testing out Cloudflare's new 1. What we learned during Steve's on-air mention yesterday that all he planned to change in his new release was the built-in list of IPs, that's in, no other known bugs needed fixing.

It's still works fine, right through to Windows 10 Build though. The last time Steve updated that page was likely back inwhen the last version of DNS Benchmark was released. In a way, you could say that this version doesn't even exist quite yet, according to the slightly outdated DNS Benchmark Version History.
