Ping Test
Test network connectivity and measure latency to any host.
Features
Network connectivity testing tools
Send ICMP echo requests to any host and read back the round-trip time for each reply, so you can see latency as a series of samples rather than a single number.
Watch packet loss directly. Requests that never draw a reply are counted, which is what separates a slow path from a lossy one.
Get the statistical summary that matters: minimum, maximum, and mean round-trip time across the run, plus the spread between them.
About This Tool
A ping test measures the round-trip time for a small packet to reach a host and come back, reported in milliseconds. It is the most basic check of whether a host is reachable and how responsive the connection to it is, borrowing its name from sonar.
Lower round-trip times mean a snappier connection, which matters most for real-time uses such as video calls and gaming, where latency is felt directly. A ping test also reveals packet loss, when replies go missing, a common sign of an unstable link. Together these two figures give a quick read on connection health beyond raw download speed.
How to Use It
- Enter the host or domain to ping.
- Run the test.
- Read the round-trip time and any packet loss.
