UNDERSTAND THE TOOL
What is Traceroute?
Traceroute reveals routers along a network path and helps locate latency or routing failures.
When should you use it?
Some shared hosts disable the system command required by traceroute; the tool reports this clearly when unavailable.
READ THE OUTPUT
How to understand your results
Use these signals to decide what to check next.
Latency changes
A sustained increase after one hop may point to distance, congestion or a routing transition.
Timeouts
Asterisks do not always mean failure; many routers simply decline traceroute probes.
HOSTGRABER EXPERT GUIDE
Finding where a network path changes
Traceroute increases packet lifetime one hop at a time to reveal intermediate routers. It is best for identifying path changes and the general segment where latency begins—not for proving a single router is faulty. Some devices intentionally hide or rate-limit responses.
Compare traces captured during normal and degraded performance. A sustained latency increase across later hops is more useful than one slow intermediate response. HostGraber network or server customers can include the trace when contacting support for a routing investigation.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Traceroute FAQ
Practical answers from the HostGraber team.
Why are some traceroute hops hidden?+
Routers and firewalls may drop or deprioritize diagnostic packets while forwarding normal traffic.
Can traceroute identify the exact outage?+
It narrows the likely network segment, but provider routing data and tests from multiple locations are needed for confirmation.
Why can this tool be unavailable?+
Many shared hosting environments disable the operating-system command needed to run a safe traceroute.
