Troubleshooting

Local domains are slow

When your local domains have a slow response time, this may indicate issues with the mDNS protocol, browser DNS cache or system DNS cache.

To resolve it, try the following:

• Check if the issue is browser-specific

  Test your local domain in different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) to determine if the slowdown only happens on a specific browser. If so, clear the browser's DNS cache.

• Clear browser's DNS cache

  Example for Chrome:

  1. Navigate to chrome://net-internals/#dns
  2. Click Clear host cache
  3. Navigate to chrome://net-internals/#sockets
  4. Click Close idle sockets, and then click Flush socket pools.

• Clear system DNS cache

  Run these commands in terminal to clear the system DNS cache and restart mDNSResponder:

  sudo dscacheutil -flushcache
  sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
  sudo killall mDNSResponderHelper
  

• Restart LocalCan

• Restart WiFi (turn off and on)

• Restart your router

• Switch to different WiFi network

Most slow domain issues can be resolved by clearing DNS caches and restarting network services. If the problem continues, it might indicate a deeper network configuration issue that requires additional investigation.
