About Ping Test
A ping test sends ICMP echo requests to a target host to measure network latency and packet loss. It's one of the most fundamental network diagnostic tools used by IT professionals worldwide.
What we measure
- Host reachability and online status
- Round-trip time (RTT) latency in milliseconds
- Packet loss percentage
- Time to Live (TTL) hop count
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good ping time?
Under 50ms is excellent for most applications. 50-100ms is good, 100-200ms is acceptable for basic browsing, and over 200ms may cause noticeable delays in real-time applications.
Why would a host not respond to ping?
Some servers block ICMP requests for security reasons. Firewalls, network policies, or DDoS protection may filter ping requests. The host could also be offline or have network issues.
What does TTL mean in ping results?
TTL (Time to Live) indicates how many network hops remain before the packet is discarded. It helps identify routing issues and estimate the distance to the target server.
