How to use this test
- Click 'Start Ping Test'.
- Watch 10 sequential ping packets transmit in real time.
- Review Minimum Ping, Average Ping, and Jitter in milliseconds.
- Low ping (<30ms) and low jitter (<5ms) are ideal for gaming and calls.
How to understand your result
Looks good: Average latency under 40ms with low jitter (<5ms).
Check this: High latency (>100ms) or high jitter (>20ms) indicating bufferbloat.
Troubleshooting: what to try next
- Switch from 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi to 5 GHz Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet.
- Check if other household members are streaming 4K video or downloading games.
What this test cannot tell you
Measures HTTP endpoint round-trip timing, not raw ICMP network echo packets.
Frequently Asked Questions
This measures HTTP round-trip latency at the application layer. ICMP ping operates at the IP network layer, but HTTP ping accurately reflects web application responsiveness.
