Hi, My website is also getting very slow TTFB: Sucuri Load Time Tester Sucuri Load Time Tester inkdrop.app is aliased to inkdrop-top.netlify.com. Could you advise me how to improve it?

Maybe I guess that’s because I’m using ALIAS record for my apex domain with NS1. As its documentation says: Disadvantages of an ALIAS record Geo-targeting information is lost. Since it is the authoritative server for example.com (issuing the queries for lb.example.net ), then any intelligent ro…

To answer your question @craftzdog our CDN does optimize based on location, but you cannot use an “ALIAS” record from NS1 since that explicitly does not trigger our geo-location features. You’ll need to use one of two things, at present: our DNS hosting, since we can (and do) use linked A records…

OK, after some discussion with our platform team, since you do use NS1, you could try using a linked A record (cf https://ns1.com/blog/announcing-linked-records ), pointing to yoursitename.netlify.com (in your case, inkdrop-top.netlify.com ). NS1’s support team reports that they should work across a…

Hi fool, Thanks for the clarification. As CNAME performs as fast as expected, just moving from apex to www subdomain would be a good option. NS1’s linked record sounds great, and I tried it but it seems like not working. I configured the record on NS1 like so: [Screen Shot 2020-03-03 at 16.39.…

OK. Could you try instead linking to “ www.bitballoon.com ” to see if that works better? I very much appreciate your help in testing.

Thanks for the help. But it won’t work. It still responds with SERVFAIL. My configuration is: [Screen Shot 2020-03-04 at 16.24.51]

Hmm, ok. I guess there isn’t a good way to accomplish this right now. Sorry I don’t have better news for you!

Our operations team did some tests and found this to work. Is worth a try before we give up! Could you try linking (with a linked A record) directly to *.netlify.app (it’s a weird-sounding config, but that is a “real record” in our account) on that hostname and see if it works better? If it doesn…

we rolled out a fix to issues raised in your original thread, so we are thinking your problem might be something else so I made a new thread where we can discuss. That said could you take a look at this and provide us with a HAR file so we can take a closer look?
