However, complex websites\u00a0 might need multiple DNS lookup. Because of this,\u00a0 it may <em>slow down<\/em> the loading of the website.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you use a Public DNS server, with their infrastructure, you might be able to load the website faster. For this case, I chose Google&#8217;s DNS server because it provides a clear explanation on how it can be faster and have more security.<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/code.google.com\/speed\/public-dns\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to Check Out Google Public DNS<\/a><\/h1>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">How to Change<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>It is very simple to change.
