Free Windows PC performance monitor
Screenshots
TrafficMonitor allows you to freely view the network, CPU and memory performance of your Windows device. It's a free app from developer zhongyang219. Though it's possible to see the same information with the built-in Windows utility, TrafficMonitor supplies a simpler interface which is particularly useful for less technical users.
It's also visually a bit more appealing than the Windows tool because you can apply a custom skin to the user interface. You can make the theme and fonts of TrafficMonitor to blend in with the colour scheme of your computer too. For extra convenience, you can select the option to show TrafficMonitor in your computer's taskbar. If you only want to monitor your device’s network performance, Network Monitor 3.4 or SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor are both great options.
Where can I get TrafficMonitor?
You can download it safely for free from any reliable source.

Does TrafficMonitor take up much storage?

Is TrafficMonitor malware?
As long as you download it from a reputable source as we've suggested, you’ll have no problem with malware, PUPs or any other threats.
How do I remove TrafficMonitor?
As TrafficMonitor isn't installed from the Windows Store, it's not just a case of right-clicking on the app and selecting ‘Uninstall’. Despite that, it's still simple to remove from your computer.
The first thing you need to do is go to the location where the file was saved on your PC. The easiest way to find it is to click on the start button on your desktop and start typing the name of the program.
When you see the program folder in the search results, click on it, and then, delete the whole folder. If you're sure you want to permanently remove it, go to the Recycle Bin and empty it.
Monitor your network traffic
While there's nothing to suggest that TrafficMonitor is an essential app, it still adds a bit of fun to a usually plain utility and provides easy access by allowing you to pin it to your taskbar. In our view, TrafficMonitor is a simple desktop tool for monitoring your device’s performance.
