This updated guide examines Compare Internet Speed of DNS 1.1.1.1 with Other Popular DNS and organizes the essential facts, background, and practical takeaways in clear American English.

You can visit DNSPerf.com to see a table comparing DNS query speed 1.1.1.1 compared to other popular DNS. DNS is specific to each location, so your results may be different from the results of DNSPerf.

to compare Internet speed, the article will check with some popular DNS services at position 06109. First, do the DNS 1.1.1.1 and Quad9 services, using the IP address 1.1.1.1. of CloudFlare as the primary address and 1.0.0.1 as the secondary address along with the main DNS 9.9.9.9 of Quad and DNS 149.112.112.112 sub, the DNS cache of the router still works. Then, we set the DNS router cache feature to zero and run DNS Benchmark.

From the above test, we can see that the 1.1.1.1 address has a slower response time than the 1.0.0.1 secondary IP address, possibly because it is under pressure from early users. So you should set the 1.0.0.1 address as the primary address and 1.1.1.1 as the secondary address. One thing to note is that the Quad9's 8.8.8.8 address is faster than the 1.1.1.1 address in some runs on this test.

Finally, note that the 1.1.1.1 address registered on the MegaPath Networks network and 1.0.0.1 address is registered on the Cloudflare network. In general, from the above test, we can see that Quad9 and CloudFlare 1.1.1.1 have equal performance.

For home use, OpenDNS is another service that users need to consider. It uses 208.67.222.222 address as its primary address and 208.67.220.220 as a secondary address. There is also Norton ConnectSafe with many different levels of protection.

Typically, users do not use the IP address instead of the URL name but on the website https://1.1.1.1 you can use both with the TLS HTTPS security key.

The primary and secondary IP addresses of DNS services used during comparison checks

The following list covers 5 services used for comparison in this review.

Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 - speed and privacy, providing DNS over HTTPS

• 1.1.1.1
• 1.0.0.1

Google Public DNS - speed, provides DNS over HTTPS

• 8.8.8.8
• 8.8.4.4

Quad9 - privacy, speed, malware filtering, providing DNSSEC

• 9.9.9.9
• 149,112,112,112

Note, although the Quad9 provides completely separate secondary DNS based on IPV6 2620: fe:: fe address, but DNS Benchmark does not support IPV6 so at this test it has Quad9 sub-DNS IP 149.112.112.112.

OpenDNS - suitable for home use (part of Cisco), providing DNSCrypt

• 208.67.222.222
• 208.67.220.220

Norton ConnectSafe - suitable for home use, does not provide DNS over HTTPS, DNSSEC or DNSCrypt

• 199.85.126.20
• 199.85.127.20

Comparison test results

This comparison test was done with the DNS Benchmark tool at position 06109 on the Cox Communication Internet with Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, OpenDNS and Norton ConnectSafe services. Below is a screenshot of the test results in 5 times.

Evaluation after performing the test

Based on the test results, we can see that all of these services are very fast. When turning on the router's DNS cache and surfing many different websites, we find some services faster than other page load time services. That's why you need to take more tests and make sure there are no other systems on the same router network and perform each service check at different times of the day.

Note, the main DNS result is the same as the secondary DNS may be a bad sign, indicating that it uses the same infrastructure. In other words, you can even get the same line and if a DNS decreases, access to both will decrease.
