Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Ping Test?
A ping test is a network utility used to test the reachability of a server or website on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It measures the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer that are echoed back to the source.
What does 'latency' mean?
Latency, often referred to as 'ping', is the time it takes for data to travel from your device to a server and back. It is usually measured in milliseconds (ms). Lower latency means a more responsive connection, which is crucial for online gaming and video calls.
What is considered a good ping time?
A ping under 20ms is considered excellent. Anything between 20ms and 50ms is very good. Between 50ms and 100ms is average and acceptable for most web browsing. Anything over 150ms will cause noticeable lag in gaming and real-time applications.
Why did my ping test time out or fail?
A timeout or failure usually means one of three things: the website or server is offline, your internet connection dropped, or the target server has a firewall rule that blocks incoming ping requests for security reasons.
How does this tool test latency?
Because traditional ICMP ping requests are restricted in web browsers, this tool performs a TCP Ping. It measures exactly how long it takes to establish a secure connection (handshake) to the website's server, which provides a highly accurate reflection of network latency.
