Network website and server diagnostics

Have you ever needed to quickly test your website to see how each component loads? Or perhaps you had the need to run a managed traceroute to see why you get complaints from your customers in Europe (or some other part of the world)?

With Test Tools, you can now manage one or more tests on websites or servers you need, and get results directly from our database. Below you will find the types of tests that you can manage using our tools:

The PING test checks whether a specific host or IP address is reachable over an IP network by sending multiple ICMP packets and receiving ICMP responses. Test results show round-trip time and packet loss rate between hosts. This is the standard method to check for the presence of various Internet devices, like routers, switches, etc. Additionally, the percentage of packet loss, the average, minimum and maximum round-trip time of a package will provide you with more information about network latency and help you limit problems faster.

Traceroute test and MTR test are two of the most useful tests, especially when it comes to connectivity problems. The Traceroute test shows in detail the route that packets choose to the network host. The purpose of traceroute is to identify the problematic server that is causing the error. The MTR test combines the functionality of traceroute and PING programs in one network diagnostic tool. It examines the network connection between the MTR host and the specific end-user host. This way you get more in-depth information about any network-related issue.

The Web Page Test shows you the availability and performance of a given URL from a selected location. It checks server status, downloads full HTML content, and measures the response time of the website under test. The test results show the time for a DNS search, connect, download the first byte, and download the full HTML of the website under test.

The Fullpage test not only checks for the presence of a URL, but also loads images and other internal objects of a web page and measures the download speed of each component. This test shows the components that slow down your site and affect its overall performance.

Broken links test - the name speaks for itself - the test will check for broken or problematic links in the content of your site.

The HTTP Headers Test queries the URL, receives HTTP response headers, checks HTTP status codes, and displays the response headers received. You can find more information about the various status codes here: HTTP Status Codes

DNS lookup performs a DNS lookup for a host or an IP address and gives you information about how the domain or host name is resolved to an IP address. This test is usually used to make sure that the DNS records are correct and that a specific domain points to the correct IP address.

Reverse DNS - This test performs a reverse DNS lookup for a specific IP address and returns the host name associated with it.

MX lookup - This test looks for MX (Mail Exchange) records for the selected domain and returns a list of servers that are responsible for delivering email and their priority over each other.

NS lookup shows the name of the server responsible for the domain and displays the host names and IP addresses of Name Servers.

SPF lookup - This test returns all available SPF records for a given domain name. A SPF record allows administrators to check which hosts are allowed to send mail from a given domain.

Email Validation Test checks the syntax of the entered email address and checks all SMTP servers specified in MX (Mail Exchanger) records.

WHOIS test and IP / Network lookup test - both tests perform a WHOIS search on a given hostname or IP address and allow you to determine the owner and / or administrator of an IP address or network, as well as contact information.

Service Port test allows you to check the availability and response time of almost any TCP / UDP-service port. Our testing server currently includes HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, SSH, Telnet, DNS, and Custom services.

Port scan - scan some of the most popular ports on the selected IP. These are usually the default ports for the most frequently used services: 21 - FTP, 22 SSH, 23 - Telnet, 25 - SMTP, 80 - HTTP, 110 - POP3, 139 - NetBios, 143 - IMAP and 443 - HTTPS.
