Reachability probes

Ready

Ping and Traceroute

Run limited reachability diagnostics from controlled infrastructure.

Ping and Traceroute

Enter a public hostname to run the bounded reachability check available in the current web runtime.

Methodology

Run a point-in-time diagnostic from this page. Results appear above the guide, and methodology, privacy notes and limits stay below the tool.

Optional account features

Need monitoring, history or API access?

The free check answers the immediate question on this page. Larger features can add saved history, alerts, reports, API access and regional monitoring when they are enabled for your account.

Guide and interpretation

How to use this check

Enter a public hostname to run the bounded reachability check available in the current web runtime.

The current request path checks TCP 443 with fixed timeout limits and reports ICMP/traceroute as unavailable until controlled path diagnostics exist.

How to interpret the result

TCP latency is a practical availability signal, but it is not the same as ICMP ping or a full network path trace.

Example

A host can block ICMP yet serve HTTPS normally, so a failed ping does not automatically mean the site is down.

Common issues and next steps

Network devices often rate limit ICMP or hide hops, while firewalls may allow HTTPS from some regions and block others.

Use TCP status first, then compare from another network or region when the result does not match user reports.

Methodology and limits

Traceroute requires controlled probe infrastructure; the browser-facing API does not run arbitrary packet path probes.

FAQ

Why is traceroute marked not supported?

Traceroute needs controlled probe infrastructure and stricter abuse controls. The initial web runtime reports bounded TCP reachability first.

Is TCP latency the same as ping?

No. TCP latency measures a connection attempt to a service port, while ICMP ping uses a different protocol.
