I was wondering if it's normal to have some request timed out in tracert.

For example: C:>tracert www.google.com

Tracing route to www.google.com [216.58.210.36] over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 10 ms 5 ms 5 ms 192.168.0.1

2 * * * Request timed out. <--

3 * 70 ms 65 ms 31.55.185.181

4 76 ms 60 ms 101 ms 31.55.185.188

5 64 ms 69 ms 64 ms core2-hu0-12-0-3.colindale.ukcore.bt.net [195.99.127.120]

6 49 ms 42 ms 50 ms peer2-et-3-0-4.slough.ukcore.bt.net [109.159.252.122]

7 111 ms 122 ms 100 ms 109.159.253.69

8 * * * Request timed out. <--

9 61 ms 58 ms 57 ms 108.170.238.116

10 97 ms 93 ms 96 ms 108.170.232.103

11 174 ms 150 ms 122 ms lhr25s11-in-f4.1e100.net [216.58.210.36]

2Completely normal... It just means a device at that network hop is not responding to a ping request. If that happens consistently, then it it can be ignored as it means the device is configured that way. If that happens only once in a while it is often a sign of equipment at or exceeding it's load capacity (ie. it doesn't have time to respond to a ping request), or the some other issues. – acejavelin – 2019-06-02T13:53:16.447

Yes it is quite normal. It is an indicator that the device your using does not have have enough capacity to respond.
