On $[0,1]$ does $f_n = \frac{nx}{1+nx^2}$ converge uniformly?

I know that the sequence of functions converges pointwise to the following piece-wise function $$ f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{x}, & 0<x\leq 1 \\ 0, & x = 0 \end{cases} $$ but I suspect that it does not display uniform convergence.

Take $x=1/n$. Then

$$|f_n(x)-f(x)| = \Big|\frac{n}{n+1} - n\Big|$$

does not converge, so there is no uniform convergence.
