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:

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...........

#5 Eriisa on 2008-05-12 21:54 (Reply)

they don't have any servers there to use as a check. If they did I am sure they would.
