Test BrainKing accessibility from different locations of the world
I have discovered a really nice and useful web tool today. It is called Host Tracker and its purpose is to make independent and as objective as possible speed tests of a selected web site.
Speaking of a "discovery", it doesn't mean that it is a brand new service, I just wasn't aware of it before. Actually, Host Tracker seems to be active since 2004.
Unlike the Speed Test tool I was writing about before, Host Tracker does not measure your local line speed while accessing a target web site, but takes advantage of many (currently 62) servers located at different countries and displays particular response times. This is what I have measured a minute ago:
http://host-tracker.com/check_res_ajx/972678-0/share/
I think that the most important advantage of Host Tracker is that if you have temporary speed problems with BrainKing game site, you can easily check whether it is a global issue (all 62 servers display similar bad results) or just a local one (the majority of results are less than 1 second). Clicking on the following icon should do the trick:

All servers remotely close to me were between 1.4 to 2.3 sec though interesting site. http://aigamez.com got under 1 sec in all except 4 sorry Russia (http://host-tracker.com/check_res_ajx/972915-0/share/).

Well, my run seems to make no sense at all lol.
Most of the ones to the states were between 1.5 & 4.5 secs, but there were a few under 1.0 sec.
Strangely enough, my closest two (Maidenhead & London) were 1.04 & 4.13.
Fastest was Ukraine with 0.34, 0.90, 0.46 & 0.58, also Russia was good 0.58 along with rest of mainland Europe.
so hmmmmm

Interesting that it does not check from NZ or AU where the response is usually slower...........
Comment (1)
they don't have any servers there to use as a check. If they did I am sure they would.
