A slow internet connection can be frustrating and many factors can contribute to this such as, an inadequate Wi-Fi signal, an ISP that throttles incoming connections, ISP speed vs real speed, router placement, network congestion, and outdated device settings
One of the main causes of delays and slow internet connections which is often overlooked is the default DNS settings from an ISP and whilst it may seem a little complicated, changing to a faster DNS can speed up the connection and improve responsiveness and page loading times
Two ways of doing this are using a tool such as Google’s Namebench to find the fastest DNS provider specific for a user’s computer or use one of the top alternative DNS providers such as Google DNS, Cloudflare, and OpenDNS, entering their IP addresses into the DNS settings on a device to make the switch to a new DNS provider]
