That being said, I've seen theories that certain non-FB sites are slow just because DNS lookups are so backed up.

- nottorp 5y agoDNS lookups are certainly slower for random sites. I just opened an about zero traffic site that i hadn't gone to in a while (so dns not cached). It took a while (10 seconds?) to load the first time. Insta load the second time. This seems to happen for .com but not other TLDs so maybe .com is getting hammered?
