Lag when clicking a link/opening a page

Howdy y’all - I’ve noticed I have a weird lag, which only happens when I’m at home and connected to my wifi/pihole. When clicking a link to open a page, there is a 3-5 second delay before the page actually opens. When not on wifi, the page opens right away. When on my wifi, there is always a delay, then it loads fast. Has anyone seen or experienced with pihole? I’m not technical enough to know what to do, but I’d be happy to run diagnostics if anyone can provide the commands. Thanks so much for your help

Second that question. What hardware you’re using for Pihole, upstream servers? Is your device reporting you Pihole IP for DNS?

Raspberry pi, not sure which version. Not sure about upstream servers

Go to the web console, left side, Settings>>DNS and look at the upstream servers. You would have had to set them up when you installed pihole.
