## Why Edge DNS is faster

Our architecture is built from the ground up for speed, not retrofitted onto legacy infrastructure.

### 50+ PoPs Worldwide

Anycast routing ensures queries are answered by the nearest server. Most users are within 10ms of an Edge PoP.

### In-Memory Resolution

Zones are compiled into optimized in-memory structures. No disk I/O, no database queries—just pure speed.

### Rust-Powered Core

Written in Rust for maximum performance and reliability. Zero-copy parsing, minimal allocations, and predictable latency.

## Independent benchmarking

Performance data is collected by PerfOps, a leading independent monitoring provider.
We don't mark our own homework.

- Real User Monitoring (RUM) from actual browsers
- Median algorithm reduces outlier influence
- Per-minute granularity for accurate trends
- Geographic filtering by country/region
