Performance Benchmark
This page presents a periodic benchmark snapshot of OxiDNS oxidns 1.5.1 (full), mosdns v5.3.4-0-gb732318, AdGuard Home AdGuard Home, version v0.107.78, and SmartDNS smartdns 1.2026.06.28-1614 (Release48.2), measured with dnsperf 2.15.1. It is updated for meaningful architecture, request-path, methodology, or milestone changes—not for every release.
