Question

How can I monitor the health of my network's http/https connections that are being established/used by computers in my network from my MacBook Pro? (either command line or otherwise)

Background

* I've had some recent occurances on my home network which make me wonder if it solid re connectivity. I have noted:
(a) I've had some problem sites I use whereby some of the operations (e.g. AJAX based calls) seems to take a long time or sometimes seemingly time out. Hard to tell whether's it the web sites problem or my network
(b) Also I have cases relatively frequently where it appears the weblink you click is taking a long time to come back, but then when you click the link again it works really fast straight away.
(c) Have had a one-off case recently when one of the apps I have that sync's with the cloud wasn't able to sync

Aim:

* So I'm keen for a way to monitor/track the health of HTTP/HTTPS calls. So what I would like to be able to do is:
(a) see daily summary of % successfully connections versus failed connections (if that makes sense)
(b) a way to see the log of HTTP/HTTPS dropouts/failtures, so for a particular time I could see the date/time, connection from which PC in my network, to what internet site, and what happened (e.g. HTTP or TCP issue that occured).

* So hopefully this info would inform me better of whether I have an issue or not in my network?

Any advise here?
