How I check my internet:

1. Open Chrome

2. Type "sdjkgfhsjkfahfd" into the URL bar

3. Hit enter

I have been using this method since I was 9, has been nothing but useful for me.

Is it hard to remember that string every time?

asdlkfjhsdklfh, for example. I assume you are joking, the point is to enter a random string to see if google searches for it; as entering a fixed string takes longer.
