ankitbko Do you have any extensions installed? We've had other reports of similar behavior over the past week, and in some cases, it's because of an extension that was injecting code into the page that was taking a long time to execute.
Yes I do have extensions installed. But I have seen similar behavior even in a different profile which has only 2 extension - ublock origin and json viewer. I do not think this is problem with extension. Let me rephrase the problem - when navigating to a new site, the site even *starts* to load after 3-4 seconds. The problem happens randomly. But while having the devtools open I have never faced this problem. The problem is erratic. Same site will open instantaneously other times. Is there a way to actually find out which extension or process is causing this? I can connect with you internally as well if needed.
- Josh, I may have stumbled upon the root cause. I am not sure. I checked the network tab and when the site is taking too long the DNS lookup in the GET request to the site URL is taking 7.53 seconds. Testing over multiple sites I see the DNS lookup always taking 7.53 seconds. This problem started after I enabled DNS over TLS in windows 11. In my limited testing I found the problem resolved if I use unencrypted DNS setting. I am not sure if this is problem with Edge or Windows 11. Let me know if there is any way to further dig in this lead.

ankitbko Secure DNS is still a relatively new and thus potentially buggy feature, so I can't say I'm surprised that it was the cause of this. If you do find a non-DNS repro for this though, the easiest way to rule out any particular extension is to turn off all but one, see if it still happens, and then do that for all your extensions.
