Ping and Pingalot!

by Stefan Krantz

Website latency refers to the amount of time it takes for a website to respond to a user’s request. It is the delay between the user’s action, such as clicking a link or submitting a form, and the website’s response to that action. Latency is influenced by various factors, including the server’s processing speed, network congestion, and the user’s internet connection. A lower latency indicates a faster and more responsive website, while a higher latency can result in slower page load times and a less satisfactory user experience.

Please note these site runs HTTP (insecure) as otherwise the TLS handchake might skew the numbers. (and also cert-management for all hosts needed would be really difficult)

 
 

What is the best Akamai Connected Cloud region for me to use?

Have you ever wanted to know what computing regions are close by you?

Please meet ping.kr4ntz.com!

This service measures the time it takes to recieve the request from your browser until you get a response. Essentially measuring the HTTP MEX time.
