DNS Perf
Compare the speed and uptime of commercial DNS services using DNSPerf’s global benchmark.
About DNS Perf
DNS Perf's DNS Speed Benchmark compares the speed and uptime of enterprise and commercial DNS services. It performs an A record lookup for the apex domain name from more than 200 locations worldwide and uses lookup time to compare DNS provider performance by region. The tool also helps debug self-hosted DNS servers and test routing logic, and test results are retained for up to 30 days.
The benchmark is limited to 6 free tests. Users who need more tests can contact [email protected] or wait until premium plans go live. Pricing and premium plan details are not provided on the page.
