Nice tool! When I run it I get solid red blips at the 2000 ms level after just a couple of seconds. Here's what it looks like: https://imgur.com/a/bTA86qz Is there something strange going on with my network or ISP? fwiw, I'm running Brave on a Win10 laptop.


Couple of clues

The author mentioned the tool sends out requests, and just measures response time regardless of response status. (If they fail, they fail!)

And they measure response times from gstatic.com, which should have edge nodes near most locations.

Shot in the dark guess - perhaps you're hitting some kind of rate limit somewhere in that chain?


It doesn't work with HTTPS because the pings are done with HTTP requests. You have to disable HTTPS-only mode and load it over plain HTTP: http://gfblip.appspot.com/

Requests get blocked for mixed content after a few seconds if the site is loaded with HTTPS.


Mine looks exactly the same, and I can't prevent it from redirecting to https.


You probably have HTTPS-only mode enabled in browser settings. (or the HTTPS Everywhere extension)
