DNS Benchmark indicates faster DNS for your Internet; learn how to use

DNS Benchmark is a free program for Windows that helps you choose the ideal DNS for your Internet connection. DNS services speed the connection on the web because they can speed up the identification of the IPs of accessed websites and thus influence the reduction of the opening time of pages. The software analyzes the top servers and defines which delivery performs best in each region.

The server configured by default on the machine is not always the most suitable, so the user must find the fastest one on the spot alone. Here's how to figure out the best DNS.
