What is a Traceroute?
A traceroute is a network command that can be run on your computer if you experience routing problems. It traces the “hops” between your computer and a web server. For each hop, the traceroute will diagnose where the problem is and show us the path traffic to reach your destination.
For example: when you connect to a website the traffic has to go through several midways before it reaches the website. The traffic goes through your local router, your local ISP’s router on to a large network and so on.
If you are experiencing problems reaching a particular website and that website is working, it could be possible there is a problem somewhere on the path between your computer and that website’s servers. A traceroute will show you where that problem is.
