Ping Online Diary

I have noticed from quite some time that my blog loads up very slowly. I have got the same feedback from some of my visitors as well

I have raised the ticket with my hosting provider i.e. GoDaddy many times, and every time they ask for a trace route for venukb.com

I promptly sent the traceroute and after checking the traceroute, every time GoDaddy’s response is same; The problem is not from our end !!!

I have never tried to ping my own site, today when I did try it out, this was the result:

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

I have been trying to ping from the past 1 hour and the result is same. There is a 50% packet loss and I don’t what the reason is !!

Who ever is reading this post, request you to ping venukb.com and let me know if you are also facing a similar packet loss.

Does somebody know how to find the root cause for this packet loss ?
