Is IPv6 support worth having? If no, how do I disable it

The title speaks for itself, I have IPv6 support
enabled on all of my sites and I got no clue
if I should keep it, is it even significant enough
to make a difference, maybe I should disable it?

So if it’s not worth it, I don’t want to just
have close to useless DNS records and also would
save netlify resources, how would I disable it,
do I just delete AAAA/NETLIFYv6 records and that’s it?

Thanks for your opinions and help in advance :slight_smile:

How many times do you actually have to check your DNS records?

Thank you for the concern, but having a few extra records is not much of an issue.

To answer your question, IPv6 is not having any special advantages or disadvantages over IPv4, but you can check here why we even need IPv6:

You can delete the records if you don’t want them, but it’s not causing any harm to anyone.

(1) I barely check my dns records, I only check it
when I create a new subdomain, which is quite rare
at this point

(2) Ah :slight_smile:

Thanks for the response, I will make a blog about
it or something asking if users are actually concerned
about IPv6, have a nice rest of your day <3
