Hitting websites without www. - speed issue

March 1, 2009 10:29 by Mike McMeekin

  

I tend to spend a lot of time performance optimizing my code on a website using fiddler to make sure it's loading as fast as it possibly can.

On one of my latest sites, hitting the site using http://<domain> responded significantly slower than hitting the domain with http://www. <domain>.

If you find this happening I believe part of the solution is to check your nameservers for the domain, as it turns out I was using SSL on the site, and as such had used a different IP address than my other sites (xxx.xxx.xxx.199), so my nameservers directed the browser to the first name server which was xxx.xxx.xxx.198 then the second nameserver which was xxx.xxx.xxx.199.

After switching these around on the domain - it actually increased the speed dramatically.
