Free Ping, Traceroute, DNS, WHOIS, & SSL Check — all in one tool!

Why Your Ping Fails

Top reasons pings time out — and how to tell if the host is truly down or just rejecting your request.

Understanding Traceroute

Traceroute isn’t just tech gibberish — it’s a powerful tool to spot network delays and routing issues.

SSL Expired? Now What

What an expired SSL cert means, how to fix it fast, and how to avoid losing trust (or traffic).

Ping

Ping checks whether a host is online by sending small packets and measuring how long it takes to get a response. It’s a quick way to spot outages or high latency.

Traceroute

Traceroute maps the path your request takes across the internet, revealing each hop it passes through. Great for diagnosing slow routes or blocked regions.

DNS Lookup

This shows how a domain name resolves into an IP address and what DNS records are attached. It's essential for checking if your domain is pointed correctly.

WHOIS

WHOIS lets you see who owns a domain, when it was registered, and when it expires. It’s a good way to check legitimacy or domain availability.

SSL Check

This fetches the SSL certificate of a website to verify if it's valid, trusted, and not expired. It’s a must for checking security and trust status.
