Besides having a great internet service provider (isp) I have recently stumbled upon a method of decreasing load times. It's very simple, all you have to do is change your dns to use 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 instead of being automatic.

Step 1: Open Control Panel
Step 2: Click View network status and tasks
Step 3: Click change adapter settings
Step 4: Right click on applicable device (Either first result or whatever isn't disabled) and click properties
Step 5: Click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click properties
Step 6: Select Use the following DNS server addresses
Step 7: Input 1.1.1.1 as the Preferred DNS server
Step 8: Input 1.0.0.1 as the Alternate DNS server

After the dns addresses are updated, you should notice faster load times and as a bonus, it provides a bit of privacy to your web browsing.

The dns servers are provided by Cloudflare which already have a massive client base in web security.
You can find more information about the DNS servers directly from cloudflare @https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/...s-1.1.1.1/
