jimping

See exactly where your connection slows down.

Jimping is a free ping plotter and constant traceroute for Windows. It watches every hop between you and a host, flags the one that adds the delay, and keeps a history you can play back later.

● Version 1.0.0 Windows 10 and 11, 64 bit No admin rights needed
Jimping watching a list of internet hosts, each with latency, loss, jitter, status and a ten minute timeline

What it does

One small exe, dark by default, starts instantly. Everything runs locally on your PC.

Trace

Every hop, every second

Continuous traceroute with loss, latency and jitter per hop, and a 10 minute heatmap that shows where and when trouble starts.

Trace

Finds the slow link

Added latency shows how much each hop adds. Routers that are only slow to answer pings are recognized, so they are not blamed.

Trace

Route change detection

Re-traces the path on a schedule you choose and logs every change, with sound and taskbar alerts.

Watch

Watch lists

Paste a list of IPs or host names, save it, and ping them all. Up, degraded and down at a glance, with outage alerts.

History

Play it back

Every probe is saved to CSV. Open any session later and replay it at up to 600 times speed, outages marked on the timeline.

Workflow

Tabs for everything

Run several traces and several watch lists at once. Local or UTC time, chart windows from 1 to 10 minutes.

Requirements

  • Windows 10 or 11, 64 bit
  • No admin rights: uses the Windows ICMP API
  • The installer installs per user by default; the portable zip runs from any folder
  • Settings live in %APPDATA%\Jimping, history in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Jimping\History

First launch

Jimping is new, so Windows SmartScreen may say it "protected your PC" the first time. Click More info, then Run anyway. Check the download against the SHA-256 below if you want to be sure it is the original file.
