DNS Benchmark is an official program for Windows by Gibson Research Corporation designed to evaluate the performance of DNS resolvers. Users can analyze the speed and security levels of their servers.
Testing
Thanks to comprehensive speed testing, it becomes easier to measure the performance and reliability of servers. Users are able to identify the most efficient Domain Name System for their devices ensuring faster web browsing capabilities and reduced latency. On top of that, there is an option to manually add the preferred phonebooks and check their compatibility.
There is a built-in list of popular servers like Google DNS, OpenDNS and Cloudflare giving quick and reliable starting points to optimize the settings without spending much time. You can also display test results in detailed graphs to analyze response times and reliability metrics to compare multiple machines with each other.
Cache
Additionally, there are caching and non-cashing details that allow you to see how servers handle queries. In other words, you can see the performance of DNS under different conditions which is crucial for the fast loading process.
