SPo0n, are you saying that a tracert is not conclusive, if so, I'd like to understand why ?
Ping times make minimal difference to a web page being loaded. It's barely noticeable. In an online game it may be.. but not when browsing. It's all down to how fast the server processes your request. Unless the ping is over, say, 1000ms (unlikely - that usually means a server is practically down), your request will be sent instantly. It's then the server's time to process the request and send back the data. If the server is over capacity or there's bad coding at some point, this is where it'll show.
