    • Decimals rounded to whole number.
    • The dash represents lack of data for that server during the test.
    • Number of tests: 14
    • Time varies by +- 30 mins

    I guess you need to test this over various times over a week or so and average them out?

    Given that DNS is heavily cached everywhere, this is just the initial query time, so it's not really that much of a performance issue (other than curiosity).

    Please see the edited post above. The results of each test for each provider are overall consistent with Cloudflare crushing the competition.

    @girish You mentioned these numbers are "cached". How accurate are these numbers after averaging them? Aren't these what an actual visitor will experience since the initial query could hold up the web page loading?

    @humptydumpty I don't know about the accuracy (depends on what dnsperf is doing). So, what's being measured here is the delay of the initial query to the authoritarian name server. In general, most servers do not query the authoritarian name server directly. They instead query the ISP/VPS providers' name server . This intermediate name server will cache things a lot.

    So, yes, the very first visitor will face a hold up. Subsequent visitors may or may not.

    This is not to say what you are measuring is not valid/useful. It does seem that DNSMadeEasy is faster than DO
