Triage from your side outward

When something will not load, the question is where the break is: your device, your connection, the name lookup, or the server. Checking in order, from your side outward, finds the answer faster than random guessing.

These browser tools cover the common checks without needing terminal commands.

A logical order of checks

Start with Know Your IP to confirm you have a working public connection and to see your network details. Then run a DNS Lookup on the domain to check that the name resolves to an address at all.

Use the Ping Tester to measure latency to the host, and the Internet Speed Tester to see whether your connection itself is slow. A Port Scanner helps confirm whether a specific service is reachable.

  • No public IP or details: the problem is your local connection.
  • DNS does not resolve: the issue is name resolution, not the server itself.
  • High ping or low speed: your connection or the path to the host is the bottleneck.

Reading the results sensibly

Speed tests vary with time of day, Wi-Fi quality, and server distance, so run two or three and take a range rather than one number. A single slow result is not proof of a problem.

If your own checks are fine but the site still fails, the issue is likely on the server side, which is outside your control beyond reporting it.

Why this is useful in depth

You diagnose connectivity problems in a logical order and can tell whether the issue is your connection, DNS, or the remote server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my speed test lower than my plan?

Advertised speeds are peak figures under ideal conditions. Real results depend on your device, Wi-Fi, congestion, and the distance to the test server. Run a few tests and use the range.

What does it mean if DNS does not resolve?

The domain name is not being translated to an address, so the problem is name resolution, not the server. Trying a different DNS provider can help confirm this.

Is a high ping always bad?

It depends on the task. For browsing it matters little; for gaming or calls it matters a lot. High ping points to distance or congestion on the path to the host.

What is a port scan useful for?

It checks whether a specific service (like a web or mail port) is reachable on a host, which helps when a site loads but a particular feature does not.

If all my checks pass but the site is still down, what then?

The problem is almost certainly on the server side. There is little you can do beyond waiting or reporting it; your connection is fine.
