About ntest
Having the ability to run common tests against any domain often comes in quite handy. ntest aims to provide you with the most necessary tests you would want to run against a domain. It currently performs the following tests: https redirect, certificate expiration, average round-trip time, measure packet-loss and DNS host look-up.
