Testing server speed

[RayBonga]

one of my sites is recently loading really slowly from my connection. how can I test this to confirm if the site really is slow or if this is an issue with my connection/ISP?

thanks

ask others here on the board

is this on a dedicated server or shared hosting?

I like using this to get diagnostics on my connection.

Post a link to to your site so we can check it

I put a test script up on my servers. It downloads and uploads a 1024 piece of data. Made a link to it. So when one of my sites is slow I ping it, traceroute it, and run my "speedtest"

Then I have an employee in Florida and another in South Carolina that I have duplicate that. If everybody reports the same bad numbers then I call the hosting company.
