Honestly, in most cases, IPv6 *is* faster—at least in theory. The headers are simpler, and no NAT means less overhead. But real-world? It depends on your ISP and how well their IPv6 routes are optimized.
If you wanna test it yourself, try tools like Speedtest.net (they support IPv6) or Cloudflare’s IPv6 test. Run tests with both protocols and compare.
Also, IPv6’s bigger address space doesn’t directly affect speed, but it reduces congestion and NAT bottlenecks, which *can* improve performance.
