About Latency (ping) test

Latency is the round-trip time, in milliseconds, between your device and a server. This test sends repeated small requests to this site and reports the average, the lowest and the jitter, which is the variation between samples. Steady low jitter matters more than one fast result for calls and games.

How to use Latency (ping) test

  1. Start the test and keep other downloads and streams paused.
  2. Wait while the tool sends several quick requests to this site.
  3. Read your average response time, the jitter value and the graph of each round trip.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good ping in milliseconds?

Under 50 ms feels instant for most things, 50 to 100 ms is fine for video calls and casual games, and above 150 ms starts to feel laggy. High jitter is a bigger warning sign than one slow sample.

What does jitter mean in the result?

Jitter is how much your response time changes from one request to the next. A low value means a steady connection, while a high value can cause stutter in calls and online games.

Why is my result different every time I test?

Latency changes with Wi-Fi signal, other devices on your network and how busy the route is. Run the test a few times, ideally on a cable, and look at the typical value.
