DNSPerf

Compare the speed and uptime of enterprise and commercial DNS services

Visit DNSPerf

DNSPerf is a free DNS performance analytics and comparison service that measures the speed and uptime of authoritative DNS providers, public DNS resolvers, and DNS root servers. It runs tests every minute from more than 200 locations worldwide over IPv4 with a one-second timeout, publishing public data updated hourly while offering real-time data on request.

Results can be filtered by location and time period, with views for raw performance, resolver simulation, uptime, and quality. The site also provides a DNS Propagation checker and a DNS Speed Benchmark tool. It is intended for anyone comparing DNS services, with free access to the public data and a premium option for additional analytics.
