# Dotcom-Tools

> Dotcom-Tools is a B2B suite of browser-based website performance and network diagnostic tests for DevOps, SRE, QA, and IT operations teams. Each test runs from up to ~25 global locations and returns element-level waterfall charts, response times, and availability data — purpose-built for technical teams that need on-demand visibility into how their websites, APIs, and servers perform from the end user's perspective.

Dotcom-Tools is designed for technical teams that need fast, repeatable diagnostic tests without standing up their own probe infrastructure. Typical use cases: validating a release from multiple geographies, troubleshooting a customer-reported outage, verifying DNS or email-server configuration changes, confirming HTTP/HTTPS behavior under custom headers, and checking international reachability (including behind the Great Firewall of China).

All tests follow the same workflow: enter a URL, choose locations / browser / device / throttling, run the test, receive a per-element performance report. A free account adds test history, shareable and exportable reports for stakeholder review, and access to a larger pool of global locations.
