Traceroute
Trace the network path from our server to any destination
Features
What our traceroute tool offers
Full Network Path
See every network hop between our server and your target, including hostnames and IP addresses.
Latency Per Hop
View best, average, and worst latency for each hop to pinpoint where delays occur in the network path.
Packet Loss Detection
Identify hops with packet loss to diagnose network reliability issues and routing problems.
MTR-Based Analysis
Uses My Traceroute (MTR) which combines ping and traceroute for more comprehensive network analysis.
How It Works
Three simple steps
Enter Destination
Type in any domain name or IP address you want to trace the network path to.
Trace the Route
Our tool traces every network hop from our server to the destination, measuring latency and loss at each point.
Analyze the Path
Review the hop-by-hop results with color-coded latency and loss indicators to identify bottlenecks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a traceroute?
A traceroute maps the network path from one point to another, showing every router (hop) the data passes through. It reveals the route your traffic takes across the internet, along with the latency at each hop, helping diagnose where network issues occur.
What do network hops represent?
Each hop represents a router or network device that forwards your data along the path to the destination. More hops generally mean more distance and potentially higher latency. A typical traceroute has 10-20 hops depending on the destination.
What is MTR and how is it different from traceroute?
MTR (My Traceroute) combines the functionality of traceroute and ping into a single diagnostic tool. While traditional traceroute shows the path once, MTR continuously sends packets and provides ongoing statistics like average latency, best/worst times, and packet loss percentage for each hop.
Why do some hops show as unknown?
Some routers are configured to not respond to traceroute probes for security or performance reasons. This is normal and does not necessarily indicate a problem. As long as subsequent hops respond and the final destination is reached, the unknown hops are typically not a concern.
