Ping
ICMP ping a target; measure latency and loss.
Enter a target
e.g. example.com veya 8.8.8.8 — press ⏎ / ⌘⏎
What is Ping?
Ping sends ICMP echo requests to measure reachability, round-trip time and packet loss, reporting packets sent/received alongside minimum, average and maximum latency.
No reply doesn't mean the host is down: many servers and firewalls block ICMP deliberately. A port scan or HTTP header check is a more reliable reachability test.
What matters is jitter, not absolute latency. Values bouncing between 20 ms and 400 ms point to a saturated link or a bad intermediate hop; for persistent loss, use traceroute to find where it starts.
Frequently Asked Questions
7 questionsPing fails but the site loads — why?
Many hosts and firewalls block ICMP on purpose; it doesn't mean the server is down. Verify reachability with a port scan or an HTTP header check instead — if TCP 443 is open, the service is up.
When is latency a problem?
5-30 ms within a country and 100-250 ms intercontinental are normal. What matters is jitter, not the absolute figure: values bouncing between 20 ms and 400 ms point to a saturated link or a bad intermediate hop.
How much packet loss is serious?
Under 1% goes unnoticed by most applications. 1-3% is audible on VoIP and felt in games. Above 5%, TCP retransmits constantly and throughput collapses. For persistent loss, use traceroute to find the hop where it starts.
Is this measured from my computer?
No — from the server running this tool. Run ping locally to diagnose your own connection; this result shows the target's general reachability.
Is ping related to website speed?
Partly. Ping measures network round-trip; page load additionally includes the TLS handshake, server processing and content size. Low ping doesn't guarantee a fast site, but high ping adds to every request and is felt as sluggishness.
Does it ping over IPv6?
If the target resolves to an IPv6 address, yes. When a domain has both A and AAAA, system preference decides; enter the IP directly to test a specific protocol.
Why do results differ from what I see?
The measurement runs from this tool's server over a different network path. Run ping locally to test your own connection; use this result for the target's general reachability.
