How a request travels in Africa

An illustrative path from a user to a public service. Actual routing varies by ISP, peering, transit and destination.

Illustrative diagram · not a measured route or a guarantee that every request follows these hops.

Gain complete visibility into your site’s real performance

Go beyond single global scores. Pinpoint localized latency, IXP bottlenecks, and regional network delays.

A clear public-endpoint performance baseline.

The standard audit tests public websites and API endpoints. It does not claim direct access to your private infrastructure.

  • DNS — lookup timing and returned resolution evidence
  • Connection and TLS — connection setup and handshake timing when available
  • HTTP response — time to first byte, total response timing and status
  • Network path — route evidence and hop information when returned
  • Location comparison — compare only locations that returned live measurements
  • Prioritized next steps — practical recommendations with limitations stated

Built for public endpoint safety & objective measurement.

Clear scope, observable evidence and privacy-aware measurement practices.

Non-Invasive Probes

Standard audits test public HTTP/TLS endpoints only. No private database or VPC access is requested.

Observable Evidence

Completed measurements are reported separately from unavailable locations, without synthetic assumptions.

Privacy Compliant

Telemetry scans do not inject tracking payloads into the target website or application.

Built for teams responsible for real user experience.

Fintech & payments

Investigate slow public endpoints around customer journeys without assuming the gateway is the cause.

Fintech endpoint workflow

E-commerce

Compare response behavior for storefronts and APIs serving customers across multiple markets.

SaaS & API teams

Give engineering teams regional evidence to guide the next investigation.

Digital agencies

Support client conversations with observed measurements and clear limitations.

Measurements first, conclusions second.

We request measurements from available probes, compare only returned results, and distinguish observations from hypotheses. A missing result is not a slow result.

Common questions.

The free scan requests measurements from nine African countries. Live regional results depend on probe availability.
No. The standard audit tests public endpoints. Database internals and third-party dependencies require a separately scoped Custom Deep Dive.
Yes. Run the free scan or purchase the Africa Latency Audit online. Custom engagements are scoped separately.

Get Started with AfricaLatency

Test your endpoints across available African edge probes, inspect TTFB and response timings, and identify where local performance needs attention. Continuous monitoring and automated alerts are in development.

Free scans are point-in-time checks. Continuous monitoring and automated alerts are in development; results depend on probe availability.
