Sure you did. But there's a whole category of phone apps called Wifi Heat maps, that would actually be "super simple" for a non-techie to use.

People are commenting on your use of javascript, where you are arguing that you built a super simple solution. As many already pointed out, the ping command is already there and is more "super simple" to use than to self host a website to get a skewed HTTP "ping" from some cloud service...
