About this tool

Know the instant your internet drops

The Internet Connection Monitor continuously checks whether your device can actually reach the internet — not just whether it thinks it has a network, which is the flaw in a plain 'online/offline' indicator that stays green while your Wi-Fi router has quietly lost its uplink. On every interval it makes a tiny reachability request to well-known always-on hosts, measures the round-trip latency, and records the result. The moment those checks start failing, it flags you offline, logs the outage with a timestamp, and — if you want — sounds an alarm so you notice immediately instead of ten minutes into a dropped call.

Everything runs locally in your browser. There is no account, no server storing your uptime, and no data leaving your device beyond the small reachability pings themselves. It is built for the situations where a silent dropout costs you: monitoring a flaky home connection, keeping an eye on Wi-Fi during an important upload, or just proving to your ISP that the connection really does drop every afternoon — the downtime log, with times and durations, is the receipt.

How to use it
  1. 1Click Start monitoring — the status turns green and the latency graph begins filling in.
  2. 2Pick how often to check (3–30 seconds) and choose an alarm tone, or upload your own audio and press Test to preview it.
  3. 3Leave the tab open; if the connection drops, the status flips to red, the outage is logged, and the alarm sounds until you're back online or hit Silence.
  4. 4Review the downtime log for outage times, durations, total downtime and count — cleared any time you like.
What it does
  • Active reachability checks — real internet, not just a network flag
  • Live latency graph with offline gaps marked in red
  • Audible alarm on dropout: beep, siren, chime, pulse, or your own audio file
  • Adjustable volume and a Test button to preview any tone
  • Downtime log with timestamps, durations, totals and outage count (saved locally)
  • Optional desktop notifications on drop and recovery
  • Connection info (type, estimated speed, RTT) where the browser exposes it

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the little online/offline icon?
The browser's navigator.onLine only reports whether a network interface exists — it stays 'online' even when your router has lost its internet uplink. This tool actively fetches from always-on external hosts, so it detects a real loss of internet, not just a cable being plugged in.
Can it monitor while the tab is in the background or closed?
It keeps running while the tab is open, but browsers throttle timers in background tabs (often to once a minute) and stop them entirely when the tab is closed. Keep the monitor tab open and visible for second-by-second accuracy. Continuous background monitoring requires a native app, which a web page cannot be.
Can I use my own alarm sound?
Yes. Click Upload, choose any audio file (MP3, WAV, OGG), and it becomes the 'custom' tone. Use the Test button to preview it at your chosen volume before relying on it. The file stays on your device — it is never uploaded.
Why does the alarm need me to click first?
Browsers block audio until you interact with the page, to prevent sites blaring sound on load. Pressing Start monitoring (or Test) unlocks audio, after which the alarm can play automatically when a dropout is detected.
Is my data private?
Yes. Monitoring, the latency graph and the downtime log all run and store locally in your browser. The only network activity is the small reachability pings needed to test your connection; no usage data is sent anywhere.
Can it show which apps use my network, or capture packets like Wireshark?
No — and no browser tool can. Browsers are sandboxed and cannot see other applications' traffic, list ports, or capture packets; that requires a native desktop app with system privileges. This tool focuses on what a browser can do reliably: monitoring your own connection's health.
