Your internet dropped.
You can prove it.

Something Just Lagged records interruptions and helps you investigate them. It does not speed up your internet, change your route or promise to fix every kind of lag.

Response times, failed connectivity tests, DNS queries, HTTPS checks, aggregate PC traffic, errors and discards counted per adapter, and adapter events. The app does not record your screen or the content of your conversations.

No. When no external site answers for 30 seconds, the app saves an automatic incident with its report on its own, even overnight or while you're away, and says whether the router kept answering. While the connection stays up, it also saves a latency spike, a burst of lost pings or high jitter on its own. The Ctrl+Alt+L shortcut is for marking the lag you felt, like a game that freezes or a stream that buffers, and it opens no window and doesn't take focus from the game. Both detections can be turned off in Settings, and lag detection has low, medium or high sensitivity.

Yes. Up to four times a day, once every six hours, the app measures the download, the upload and how much the ping rises while the connection is full, and the 30-day history compares the results with your plan. It only tests while the PC is idle, on mains power and not on a metered connection, and it stops if you mark a lag. Each test transfers up to 300 MB each way; automatic tests can be turned off in Settings.

Yes. The optional extension records Twitch player buffering and waiting in the same incident report. In Firefox, install it from Mozilla Add-ons. In Chrome and Edge, installation is manual, using the extension folder that comes with the app. The Twitch buffering guide explains how to install and connect it.

The recorder must be running on your PC to collect measurements. It stays in the Windows tray, and you can pause collection. Periods when your PC is off or the recorder is paused appear as gaps.

It describes what was observed and suggests where to investigate. A failed ping alone does not prove the cause of a freeze. Results represent this PC's connection.

The app doesn't measure the game's server. It pings your router and three external destinations (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8 and 9.9.9.9), and the report shows whether they answered before, during and after the lag mark. That comparison helps separate a problem in your connection from one that only shows up in the game. In an ISP complaint, these destinations also carry more weight than a game's server.

No. It is a one-time purchase for continued use of the purchased version. There is no automatic renewal or monthly charge.

Yes. The free trial runs the full app for 7 days, with no card and no account, and works once per computer. There is no need to wait for an outage before starting: after the trial, the app keeps recording, and 30-second outages, the lags it detects and the lags you mark stay on the PC, even past the 7-day history. When you activate the license, the app creates their reports and unlocks the 30-day history PDF.

Yes. Each incident becomes a report with times, durations and exactly what failed — the kind of record you can attach to a support ticket or a regulator complaint. The 30-day history PDF brings the last 30 days together: availability and outages day by day, loss and latency by hour of day and for each destination. The data describes what this PC saw; it does not identify the guilty component.

Once Stripe confirms your payment, your purchase page shows the download link and your license code, which also arrives at the email you used to buy. The code activates the app on up to two computers. If you lose the code, recover it under Recover license with the same email.
