Cloudflare launches 1.1.1.1 DNS service that will speed up your internet

when i ping couldflare dns vs google, its does show a few milliseconds faster response (~17ms vs 20ms)

 

but what will i do with all those spare milliseconds that i've saved?
 

edit for the real response--

 

i actually switched over and am getting significantly faster page load times.

Hm, i cant even ping 1.1.1.1???

 

But backup works 1.0.0.1

Ping wird ausgeführt für 1.0.0.1 mit 32 Bytes Daten:
Antwort von 1.0.0.1: Bytes=32 Zeit=29ms TTL=53
Antwort von 1.0.0.1: Bytes=32 Zeit=29ms TTL=53
Antwort von 1.0.0.1: Bytes=32 Zeit=28ms TTL=53
Antwort von 1.0.0.1: Bytes=32 Zeit=99ms TTL=53

 

(which is pretty bad, i guess, that spike)

looks like google cranked up the response from my testing yesterday...

Ofc you cant only determine the speed by ping, but i guess google wont do internally anything different then cloudflare, so i guess, the ping is able to show some performance. But i test with dns benchmark!

 

edit:
The DNS resolver your system is using is responding faster than any of the 100% reliable publicly available alternative DNS nameservers this benchmark utility just tested. Therefore, there would be no performance benefit from switching to any of those publicly available nameservers.

 

yea, like i thought (local DNS is 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4) i added 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 to the test.

I get 3ms pings to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1,  34ms pings to 8.8.8.8 and 47ms pings to 8.8.4.4.

 

Repeated tests are consistently within 1ms of those times.  I have to admit 3/4ms is very fast.  Cloudflare would certainly be faster for me than Google DNS.

 

Here are the results of DNS Benchmark (the top entry is my Pihole currently pointing to Google):
