Routerloom: Network Latency

About Routerloom: Network Latency

Routerloom times real web requests from your iPhone or iPad and shows what kind of network connection you are on, so you can see at a glance whether a connection is responsive or struggling. Share the results as a plain-text report.

WHAT IT SHOWS
- Connection: Wi-Fi, cellular, Ethernet, another network type or offline, updated live as your connection changes
- Metered: whether iOS treats the connection as expensive, for example cellular data or a personal hotspot
- Low Data Mode: whether the connection is limited by Low Data Mode
- Endpoint timing: for each web address in your list, Routerloom makes one request and reports the total time in milliseconds, the HTTP status code, and a simple rating (Excellent under 50 ms, Good under 120 ms, Slow under 250 ms, Very slow above that). Failed requests show the error, such as a timeout or no internet connection.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Two endpoints are included to start: Apple's captive portal check page and Cloudflare's trace page. Add any other web address you care about, such as your company site or a service you rely on.
2. Tap Run diagnostics. Each endpoint is requested once, in order, with a 10-second timeout.
3. Review the timings, then tap Share plain-language report to send a text summary (connection type, metered and Low Data Mode status, and every result) to yourself or to whoever helps you with your network.

WHAT TO KNOW
Each timing covers a complete web request as apps experience it, which can include looking up the name, setting up a secure connection and downloading the response. Routerloom is not a ping, DNS, packet-loss, bandwidth or traceroute test, and it does not inspect or configure your router. Endpoints you add are kept while the app is open and are not saved after it closes.

PRIVACY
Requests go only to the endpoints in your list, and only when you tap Run diagnostics. No account, no ads, no analytics and no developer server.
