Financial website’s using TraceRoute

All websites are 8 to 12 hops (great!). However, financial websites, examples: irs.gov, Walmart.com, myadp.com - these have long delays, get “stuck” and actually after 25plus hops i just end the test. Facebook.com, Google.com, Ebay.com -all fast, 8 to 12.
So why is this? Do any of you have this? This isn’t “normal” right?
Any suggestions?

One theory is that this may be due to your firewall settings, however I also have this problem but traceroute doesn’t time out, it takes a few minutes to complete…but is not really a concern.
”Most firewalls block traffic outbound on ports other than TCP/80 which is the default IP port for web traffic.traceroute
in Linux default useUDP
, ping useICMP
, so as your output, it seems thatICMP
packets are allowed in your firewall whereasUDP
packets are blocked by the firewall.”1
