Slow Diagnostics \ DNS Lookup

[badders]

Hi,

I'm running 2.8.0.b.20250410.0059 and the Diagnostics \ DNS Lookups are taking around 15 seconds to return the following:

The Timings themselves are quick apart from the new IPv6 localhost entry. I'm not using IPv6 so I guess the delay is while the IPv6 localhost times out.

Can anyone else confirm this behaviour? Is it expected?

Thanks,
Badders

It's expected given the results. It is waiting for but not getting a response from ::1 which is IPv6 localhost. You may have settings in your DNS resolver which are unintentionally breaking that.

OK Thanks - I'll check that out.
