Why changing DNS can improve network speed?
The DNS services I will introduce in this article are from Cloudflare and Google DNS. Both companies have deployed a large number of ultra-high-speed servers around the world. They have local nodes in places such as Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. It means that there are servers near your location, which will also give you a fast response, fast resolution, and almost no delay experience.
The ISP’s own DNS usually has fewer nodes and older equipment, so the resolution speed is naturally slower.
In addition, the DNS servers of Cloudflare and Google have very large cache capacity. When browsing commonly used websites, there is no need to actually search for data around the world. The servers can directly return the cached results.
To put it simply, after changing DNS, you will feel:
- Open web pages faster
- YouTube thumbnails appear faster
- Instagram and FB pictures load faster
- Lower latency (most noticeable when playing games)
- The website is not likely to get stuck suddenly
