Have you ever wondered how productive we could be if we could measure and monitor our brains and be alerted every time we overused them? While there’s no practical way to measure the performance of the human brain without expensive medical equipment, you can track metrics like these for your computer’s brain—its central processing unit (CPU). A device’s performance depends on the condition of its CPU; a device cannot function properly without a CPU.

Latency is the key differentiator when it comes to application performance on the internet. Reduced latency accelerates the delivery of apps. DNS resolving is the first step towards application delivery and it involves a series of steps. Prior to Anycast DNS, the DNS servers responsible for resolving users’ DNS requests were sitting continents away from many users, contributing to the high latency and slow delivery of applications.
