One possibility is to change to an ISP with fast DNS server.
When I was on gate.net (now part of "earthlink.net")
{in those dial up days} that advertised "just fast internet"
the DNS server was amazingly fast. Another possibility is to
change to different (faster) DNS server. Try Google's, that
it is the one I use, is it a lot faster than brighthouse's.
Another possibility, that might help, is to cache locally
on your confuser. Since I am only a user I can't help much
in the "how to" of that, but it has speed things up here.
