DNS resolution is often the hidden bottleneck in network performance. A slow resolver can add hundreds of milliseconds to every request. The Problem ⏱️ Hidden Bottleneck : DNS can add 300ms+ to every request : DNS can add 300ms+ to every request 🤷 Unknown Performance : Most developers never test their DNS : Most developers never test their DNS 🌍 Location Matters : "Fastest" resolver depends on where YOU are : "Fastest" resolver depends on where YOU are 🔒 Security Varies: DNSSEC, DoH, DoT support differs wildly The Solution dns-benchmark-tool helps you: 🔍 Find the fastest DNS resolver for YOUR location DNS resolver for YOUR location 📊 Get real data - P95, P99, jitter, consistency scores - P95, P99, jitter, consistency scores 🛡️ Validate security - DNSSEC verification built-in - DNSSEC verification built-in 🚀 Test at scale - 100+ concurrent queries in seconds Perfect For ✅ Developers optimizing API perform...
