2010 January 5

We determine the speed of our Internet connection as the time it takes to open a page when you enter the URL in address bar, but the loading of a page depends on the page content and also the number of DNS lookups it has to perform for opening a page. For complex websites this number become larger so the site loads in a long time. So for a large extent the DNS decides the loading speed of a webpage.

The client-side of the DNS is called a DNS resolver. It is responsible for initiating and sequencing the queries that ultimately lead to a full resolution (translation) of the resource sought, e.g., translation of a domain name into an IP address.
