Google sites lag

[dBrown]

Just want to know if my experience is common or if it's depending on my ISP.

Since a few months, I actually think I can trace it back to around the end of May, all google sites open with a lag.

I experience this not only with gmail, but especially with other google sites like google translate.

Before that period when I clicked google translate, which is stored in my bookmarks toolbar, it would open before I could say Gogle.

Since then it will take at least 5 seconds, if not 10, to open. Similar behavior with other google sites.

My DNS servers are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and actually were the same previously.

Is this only me who notice this?

In your browser status bar, is there one link in particular that seems to take a long time to open?

Bear in mind the browser is opening all sorts of things.

Perhaps a tracking blocker might help.

I have had similar feel about Google sites, including gmail and Google News. Gmail is particularly noticeable when I send (reply, new, Send from Gmail). Am using the Google public DNS 8.8.8.8. and 8.8.4.4 Always use Adblock Plus.

I would for once try to use the automatically assigned DNS server instead of the Google DNS server.

A traceroute to Google DNS server does not finish, but is stopped after 30 hops.

A ping to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 fails.

Uncertain, what that means.
