Benchmark the fastest DNS resolvers from your location using standardized HTTPS queries.
The Domain Name System (DNS) acts as the internet's phonebook. Using a faster DNS resolver can significantly reduce the time it takes for websites to start loading. For gamers, a responsive DNS can also help in reducing connection latency to game servers.
DNS over HTTPS (DoH) is a protocol that encrypts your DNS queries by wrapping them in standard HTTPS traffic. This prevents ISPs and eavesdroppers from seeing which websites you visit, improving your privacy and security without sacrificing speed.
This tool performs real-time queries to popular public DNS providers (like Cloudflare 1.1.1.1, Google 8.8.8.8, and Quad9) directly from your browser. It measures the full round-trip time generally associated with looking up a domain, helping you pick the fastest provider for your specific location.
While DNS doesn't directly affect in-game ping, it affects how fast you connect to matchmaking servers and voice chat. Low-latency providers (often Cloudflare or Google) are typically recommended for the smoothest online gaming experience.
