If you\u2019re on a Windows machine, and your website appears to be running slow. You can try out the PingPlotter<\/strong> application to help pinpoint any problems with network connectivity.<\/p>\n

We have a guide on running a ping and traceroute test<\/a> when you feel your website is running slow. However when you use the PingPlotter<\/strong> application, you\u2019ll be able to get a much better view on possible networking problems.<\/p>\n

Install and run a trace with PingPlotter<\/h2>\n

The steps below will walk you through downloading PingPlotter<\/strong>, and then starting a trace<\/strong> with it to troubleshoot possible network connectivity issues.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Download PingPlotter<\/a> from their website.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \"click<\/a>\n
  3. \"click<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    After installing, click on the Launch PingPlotter Standard Now<\/strong> button to launch the application.<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  4. \"click<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    Now you can click on Continue<\/strong> to bypass the welcome screen, or click on any of the links for more details.<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  5. \"default<\/a>\n
  6. \"running<\/a>\n
  7. \"arin<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    Now that we know which IP address seems to possibly be affecting our network performance, we can go over to ARIN.net<\/a> who is in charge of IP address assignments, and use their SEARCH Whois<\/strong> function at the top-right of the page.<\/p>\n

    In this case we can see this router belongs to Cox Communications<\/strong> out of Atlanta, GA<\/strong>. So they might temporarily be having some issues affecting the connection between my local computer and the server.<\/p>\n

    In this case because the network connectivity issue doesn\u2019t reside within a network that InMotion Hosting has any control over, contacting us regarding the network slowness won\u2019t help resolve the issue.<\/p>\n

    These types of routing issues are typically temporary as the Internet can find multiple routes for a connection to go through. Using PingPlotter<\/strong> can help you keep tabs on just how frequently these issues are happening, and if any further investigation should be done.<\/p>\n
