A traceroute is a utility which allows you to literally trace your connection to a server/computer.
It measures the time it takes to reach each point needed for the connection.
There are many online tools which will allow you to perform the traceroute. Alternatively, you can do it yourself.
To traceroute your site, click Start>Run and enter "command" OR "cmd" (depends on your version of Windows).
Click OK.
You should now have a DOS prompt.
Then type tracert yoursite.com (where yoursite.com is your actual domain).
Hit Enter on your keyboard.
The results will show you the number of hops between your local computer and your site server.
It can give you a good indication of any connectivity disruption along the way.
