Is your web site running slow? Do web pages take forever to load? It may not be your computer or even the server at the other end. Instead it might be a network issue along the way.How to Traceroute a Computer/Server

STEPS:

WINDOWS STEPS:

  • Click Start.
  • Click Run. From here a box will open.
  • Type in the box "cmd" without quotes. Now the command prompt will open. Here you can type various commands to do different things.
  • Now that the command prompt is open, type in "tracert www.example.com" without quotes and replace www.example.com with the site/server you want to trace to.
  • You will see each 'HOP' along the path to the site/server. On each line there will be three durations (in milliseconds) to each hop along with the domain name of that device and it's IP address.

  You will see something like:

  •     28 ms 41 ms 33 ms www.firstdevicedomain.com [192.168.0.1]
  •     2 48 ms 41 ms 49 ms www.seconddevicedomain.com [16.70.15.99]]
  •     3 92 ms 99 ms 98 ms www.thirddevicedomain.com [53.11.75.99]
  •     4 122 ms 141 ms 137 ms www.domain.com [46.44.5.122]

LINUX STEPS:

  • If you run Linux, install open your favorite terminal (RXVT, gnome-terminal, kterm)
  • type "traceroute www.example.com"

MAC OS X STEPS:

  • Open up Applications >> Utilities >> Terminal
  • Type "traceroute www.example.com"
