1 year ago this would be useful not only to users but to those who develop those programs, so that they can better assess the instances and list only those who work properly. as an example, I tested all wikiless instances myself a while ago, because 6 out of ~20 were offline, and made a list out of it so that the dev can remove those that no longer work. a ping tester like that could also help direct the load to instances that can handle it, and then balance it among the best ones, automatically. by adding some more info on the instances such as whether they have cloudfare or not, whether they collect sensitive data or not, etc, the whole frontend ecosystem could become way more efficient and user friendly.

hello. libredirect is a fantastic program, and to be fair its most useful function is the Ping Instances one. It makes everything so much better. I was wondering, if you could make a webpage, either standalone or here on github, that would automatically ping all instances from the frontends and deliver the results on a single page (and list them by milisseconds). ideally it would be an automated process that would go in circles pinging the frontends. you could go even further and make it test the speed on different parts of the world (example: north america, south america, western europe, eastern europe, south africa, middle east, east asia ,central asia, south-east asia, oceania, etc), but even one single test zone would be very useful already.
