About this tool
A free online ping test that measures round-trip latency, jitter, and packet loss to any hostname or IP from 240+ global probe locations.
- Enter a hostname or IP address such as github.com or 1.1.1.1.
- Choose a region or run from the default global probe set.
- Run the ping and compare latency, jitter, and packet loss across regions.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a good ping latency?
- Under 30 ms feels instant for most tasks. Under 80 ms is comfortable for web browsing and video calls, while competitive gaming usually wants under 50 ms. Distance matters: intercontinental links add physics-bound delay.
- Why do I see packet loss on some probes but not others?
- Packet loss is often regional. A congested route between one probe and your target can drop packets while other regions stay clean. Comparing multiple regions separates a local routing problem from a problem at the destination.
- Does this ping test use ICMP?
- Yes. The remote probes send standard ICMP echo requests to the target, then report round-trip time and loss per packet, so results match what the ping command shows.
