Uptrends' free IPv6 ping test makes it easy to check IPv6 connectivity

Uptrends offers two free ping test tools: IPv4 Ping Test and IPv6 Ping Test. If you’re wondering why Uptrends has two separate tests that ping servers, you’re in the right place. Uptrends has two separate tests because the two addressing systems work independently of each other, often over the same network devices. IPv4 is a bit zombie like. The aging protocol is zombie like because we keep pronouncing it dead, but it keeps hanging on.

Server performance indicators in Uptrends

Website, web application, and API performance is everything. Many factors contribute to performance, such as network latency, use of performance-enhancing practices (use compression), minimizing server requests, and the strength of responding servers and their supporting infrastructure. If server performance is slipping due to load or age, you can find the signs in your reports.

Staying laser-focused on our customers’ needs led to organic growth that has expanded at a comfortable pace over the last thirteen-plus years. However, slow, steady growth is relative to the size of the endeavor, and as our products and services grew, so did the resources needed to sustain growth. So we grew—faster than expected.
