TTFB is 80 seconds sometimes on domain bought on Vercel

Hi team,

I’m using Vercel both as registrar and DNS host for my domain danangdigitalnomads.com.

I’m seeing extremely high TTFB (80 seconds) and blank page loads, especially on first request.

I ran dig +trace danangdigitalnomads.com and received:

ini

CopyEdit

;; BAD REFERRAL  
;; Warning: Message parser reports malformed message packet.  
;; Received 1232 bytes from 198.51.45.13#53(ns2.vercel-dns.com)

This points to a DNS zone misconfiguration or incomplete propagation on your nameservers.

Can anyone tell me what’s wrong? I bought the domain directly from Vercel and followed instruction to add the domain to my project. Nothing shows any error on the dashboard.

The weird thing is that it works well on refresh. But sometimes it just hangs for 80 seconds even though the page is cached. Help me understand what’s going on, I’ve been wasting a lot of time trying to figure out this

Thanks,

You can also use v0 to narrow down the possibilities.
