Our Online Ping Tool allows you to test the reachability and latency of any IP address or domain. It sends ICMP echo requests and measures response times, packet loss, and RTT statistics. Note: Results are from our server location; for global tests, consider using distributed tools.
What is Ping?
Ping is a network diagnostic tool that measures the round-trip time for messages sent from our server to a destination computer. It helps identify connectivity issues, latency, and packet loss in networks.
How to Use This Ping Tool
Enter an IP address (IPv4/IPv6) or domain name in the search bar and click "Ping". The tool will send 4 packets and display detailed results including min/avg/max RTT and packet loss percentage.
Understanding Ping Results
- RTT (Round-Trip Time): Time taken for a packet to travel to the host and back. Lower is better.
- Packet Loss: Percentage of packets that didn't receive a response. 0% is ideal.
- Mdev: Standard deviation of RTT, indicating jitter in the connection.
Limitations of Server-Side Ping
This tool performs pings from our server location. For more accurate results from multiple global points, consider tools like those on iplocation.io or dnschecker.org that use distributed servers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my ping high?
High ping can be due to network congestion, distance to the host, or issues with your ISP.
Does this tool support IPv6?
Yes, enter an IPv6 address to test IPv6 connectivity.
Can I ping any host?
Some hosts may block ICMP requests for security reasons, resulting in 100% packet loss.
