One last thing that I can think of is using the no popups version of DDG at You might want to test with IA’s disabled (temporarily) or even try the HTML version of DDG. It is also possible that having certain Instant Answers being loaded can add to the delay.
I flushed my server’s cache and since then the page display has been noticeably quicker. I just did a test on DDG (desktop computer using the standard (js) version) and noticed a small amount of lag when the results were loading. Other parameters that might impact performance include Region and Language settings (default being the fastest). There are several things that can contribute to this (let me be transparent here and says the I won’t test Google on my system, but I can provide some insight).įirst, if you are using DDG’s Cloud solution for storing your settings you will likely notice some lag. This means that when you do a DDG search, DDG doesn’t have the answer right there… instead, they will query other search engines for the data, while figuring out if any of the 1200 instant answers are relevant to your query (and potentially reaching out to them), then mix it all together and send the results to you.ĭDG will always be slower than Google, it’s all about what feature set you value. The actual search results are pulled from partner APIs like Bing, Yahoo, and Yandex. Also, it’s important to note that DDG doesn’t actually have a search index… the value of DDG is privacy and value-adds. Your ISP is not going to be directly connected to DDG, nor will your ISP be hosting any DDG servers. If you use Chrome, Google tends to slip in experimental high performance connectivity, like the SPDY protocol, which few websites outside of Google supported.īy comparison, DDG is very, very tiny. To offset this, they very likely directly connect with Google, and also likely have Google servers hosted at your ISP, as a way to make Google faster for you (and cheaper for them). Since Google is not just search, but also YouTube, and countless other services, it accounts for a large amount of traffic, which costs your ISP a lot of money. Google spends a tremendous amount of money and energy engineering for fast page loads.
