About the project

The invisible internet, made visible.

FlowTrace shows what happens after every click, form submit and scroll. Follow the request through the browser, network, server, cache, database and render. It is an interactive 3D simulation that turns the hidden machinery of the web into something you can watch travel in real time.

What FlowTrace does

Real request path

Browser, DNS, TLS, CDN, gateway, server, database, response.

First-person ride

Step inside the request and follow the data path from within.

Explain every step

Pause anywhere and read what each component is doing in plain language.
