Use Google DNS or Cloudflare DNS for Faster Browsing

The Problem

Websites take a beat to start loading even though your internet speed is fast.

The Hack

In your device or router's network settings, change DNS to: Google (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1).

Why It Works

DNS translates website names to IP addresses. Your ISP's default DNS is often slow and overloaded. Google and Cloudflare's DNS servers are faster and globally distributed.

Pro Tips

  • Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) is the fastest DNS — verified by independent tests
  • Google (8.8.8.8) is the most widely used
  • Change on your router to cover all devices at once
  • This fixes 'resolving host' delays when loading websites
