Netlify instance name: wendydawson.netlify.com
I am using a custom domain wendydawson.com for the netlify site. Everything works fine (and very fast) if I go to the wendydawson.netlify.com or Wendy Dawson. However, if I go to just wendydawson.com, the page takes 6-7 seconds for the page to load? This is the only custom domain that I am having this problem with. The others load just fine without having to add index.html to the end.
What setting am I missing here?
I tested loading of all links in Chrome and they all load fast for me. I don’t see any delay between the url versions.
Edit: I’m in the US
Hey @randelldawson,
Going off of what’s been observed before I would suggest that you check your A records are accurate and complete. TestMySite has a couple of sanity checks which may be of interest, too. Hope this helps!
EDIT: I’m in the UK and I am observing the 6 second load time.
I used Netlify’s site tester Website Speed Test Tool - Testmysite.io by Netlify as @Scott pointed out, and you scored a 91/100 for me. They do state in the results that you should use a CNAME record rather than an A record in your DNS.
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the responses. Here is the weird part. Today, all three links I mentioned in my original post work fine. I do see the 91/100 score on the tester. I changed nothing, so I am not really sure why this happened or if it is still happening for others (like @Scott also observed).
FYI - The following are my DNS settings. I am not using Netlfy’s. I have both A and CNAME records.
I have the following for settings on Netlify and I am not using a _redirects file
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
