Traceroute Tool

Trace the network path to any hostname or IP address and identify each routing hop from the server.

Traceroute runs from the server and may take 15–30 seconds. Limited to 20 hops.

Frequently asked questions

What does traceroute show?
Traceroute shows every router hop between the source and destination. Each hop shows its IP/hostname and round-trip time. High latency on a specific hop may indicate a slow or congested link.
What does * mean in traceroute?
An asterisk (*) means the router at that hop did not respond to the probe — usually because it is configured to not respond to TTL-exceeded messages, not because the path is broken.
