User based discrimination at Dan?

[topdom]

None of my domains parked at Dan resolve (in less than 20 seconds).
Registrar doesn't matter. It is purely Dan made problem.
It must be intentional.
Why I think so:
Other people's domains resolve instantly.
Not sure if most people are like me, or
only a few intentionally discriminated users are like me.

It is not registrar related.
It is not ISP related.
So the only remaining possibility: users are not treated equally.
There is at least one more user like me.
Let's check what their criteria is.
And they lie and pretend everything is ok.
Maybe they are not aware of this problem
(if so they are still responsible for it,
because there is an easy cure).

Our example was taken from the UK test option as shown in the screenshot not US.

Again, we track the average loading times and benchmark with other providers internally which returns more accurate benchmarks than online tools.

Any out-of-the-ordinary loading times above 2.5 seconds are not the result of our setup and or accurate since the page loads in a real browser much faster than what benchmarking tools will show.

Interesting. Dan used to be very open to feedback and more reasonable. Now, it seems, it is just being very defensive.

I'd rather trust GA and GTMetrix. Btw, they show better results for both your competition and for the listings on full blown ecommerce sites that are normally heavier. So GTMetrix must be conspiring specifically against Dan.

Anyway, this lack of listening to feedback is not without consequence. I had about 18300 names pointing to Dan landers. Now I am leaving about 1/3 there and will keep an eye on any improvements before making further decisions.

Just performed Google page speed check and the results are just awful. It has NOTHING to do with any third party.

2.8 seconds to first contentful paint
7.5 seconds to first interactive
Performance estimated at 67 out of 100.

Apparently, the results on mobile are way worse than on desktop. This partially could explain why Dan thinks it doesn't have problem.

Dan people do not play politics, why should they discriminate you? As far as I know, the entire staff at DAN are very humble, hardworking and pro-clients only.

People should stop taking these tests too seriously. It gives even worse score to Amazon.com, which in fact performs brilliantly.

Amazon is not comparable. First, it is way more complex than a lander. Second, it knows its clients and has wealth of info about them and their profiles and can make sure what is needed is cached properly and served really fast. So for them there are real tradeoffs between fast loading and showing as much as possible and collecting max info.

While for lander, I am not sure what they are showing or collecting because the only data I am shown as the owner of my names is basically number of visits. Their primary focus should be really fast loading and everything else should be implemented with the speed in mind.

Update: I did test relevant pages and I must admit google page test has turned into crap. Not sure what the reason is, but they are way off with the eye test.

Thank you both @DAN.COM and @Recons.Com for your speedy analysis. I do not share OP's opinion that certain users, or their individual domains, are intentionally harmed on DAN's platform. It's obvious that DAN pays a lot more attention to speed, availability, and redundancy matters these days, and I appreciate that. FWIW, I am currently not experiencing any speed problems while visiting DAN landers myself.
