CLUSTER DNS-PERFORMANCE-WEB · 12 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2024-09-21

DNS benchmarking and comparison tools

This cluster comprises tools for DNS lookup comparison and performance benchmarking. Dated entries before the index start are sparse and irregular, with single entries in 2018, 2024 (twice), 2025, and two in March 2026, indicating no clear growth pattern. Traction leaders are KSM-DNS (11 stars) and AristaDns (4 stars).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 12 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
