How many hops to get your site?

Sometimes if we are going to a website, it takes a long time until the page is being loaded.
Why does this happen? It's a many reason to explain this. I'll describe one. The hops. Yes, the hops.

More and more a hops you get, more and more a time to take.
If you are a Windows users you can using tracert command and if you are a Linux users you can using traceroute command.

Type this command below on your DOS prompt :

tracert asepandria.blogspot.com

or on your Linux terminal type :

traceroute asepandria.blogspot.com

And then the DOS prompt or Linux terminal would echoing the hops of your destination site. For example, it would echoing something like this :

Tracing route to blogspot.blogger.com [66.102.15.101]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
