Ping, MTR, and traceroute commands
Select your operating system, copy a command, and run it in a local terminal or command prompt.
MTR
Inspect latency and packet loss at every hop.
mtr --report --wide --report-cycles 20 175.41.29.3The mtr package must be installed on your system.
Traceroute
See the network path to the test IP.
traceroute -n 175.41.29.3How to run a test
1
Choose the closest product route
Select the location and network that match the VPS product you are considering.
2
Copy and run a command
Run the command from the device and internet connection you plan to use.
3
Compare more than one result
Test at different times because routing and congestion can change during peak hours.
Understanding the results
Latency
Lower latency usually means faster response times. Geographic distance and ISP routing both affect it.
Packet loss
Loss at the final destination matters most. A middle hop may ignore probes without dropping real traffic.
Route changes
Traceroute and MTR show a snapshot. Upstream providers may choose a different path later.
