Check your ISP's speed


Do visitors to your site complain that it's too slow? Find out if your ISP is to blame with NetMechanic's free Web Server Check (www.netmechanic.com/server_check.htm). Type in your URL, and NetMechanic will download your Web page every 15 minutes for eight hours, then e-mail you a report on your ISP's performance. Many variables may affect how your ISP fares, including its distance from NetMechanic's own servers. But Server Check can give you a rough idea whether your ISP is the culprit.
