Why would you pay more for faster DNS? Most browsers come with DNS prefretching built in, I doubt it really matters for a website.

- pixl97 12y agoBecause the first page load is what matters most.
- moe 12y agoYour DNS information should already be cached in all major ISPs DNS caches (unless you mean the first page load ever).
- corford 12y agoHow about the first subsequent load after the TTL for the previous load expires? Admittedly, not much of an issue if you're a big site with hundreds/thousands of requests a minute but it is an issue if you're a less trafficed site and have a low TTL.
- rajacombinator 12y agoDid you read what I wrote? I said I would pay if I were convinced it would lead to faster loads, but I'm not.
