Free online ping test from multiple locations - PingTest.eu is comprehensive but doesn't report the ip location it checks..

for new centminmod.com geo located cluster (Sydney seems a bit off)

 

@Oxide found this one check-host.net

 

Sweet been playing about with MaxCDN's http test tools at MaxCDN Tools - Compare the speed of two websites in 5 seconds and very useful for comparing 2 sites or cdn usage speeds.

For me I tested my Amazon Route53 Latency Based Geo DNS for centminmod.com versus my test Rage4.com GeoDNS for centminmod.net and the result was http://tools.maxcdn.com/http?d1=centminmod.com&d2=centminmod.net

2 runs



Ping tests 2 runs

 

For php page test for http://centminmod.com/vhost.php

Another awesome tool Sucuri Load Time Tester
