When executing a basic curl request in PHP to a plain text web page ( http://whatismyip.org/ ) it takes more than 10 seconds to respond. After looking at the info from curl is tells me that the namelookup_time is 10 seconds. I can see the exact same result when executing curl from the command line (Terminal). Why does it take so long for the name lookup , from what I've read it's more than likely something relating to the server/my computer from which the PHP file is hosted. Here's my code: $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, "whatismyip.org"); curl_exec( $ch ); $ci = curl_getinfo($ch); print_r($ci); Here's the info: [url] => HTTP://whatismyip.org [content_type] => text/plain [http_code] => 200 [header_size] => 45 [request_size] => 53 [filetime] => -1 [ssl_verify_result] => 0 [redirect_count] => 0 [total_time] => 10.549943 [namelookup_time] => 10.100938 [connect_time] => 10.300077 [pretransfer_time] => 10.300079 [size_upload] => 0 [size_download] => 14 [speed_download] => 1 [speed_upload] => 0 [download_content_length] => -1 [upload_content_length] => 0 [starttransfer_time] => 10.549919 [redirect_time] => 0 [certinfo] => Array ( )
