Ping Test
An essential latency test that measures real-time responsiveness and connection stability. It provides critical data on packet loss and round-trip times to ensure a consistent user experience.
Pick a target, a domain or an IP address, either works, Then choose a region and whether you want IPv4 or IPv6.
We run tests from five regions (Singapore, Frankfurt, Sydney, St Louis, and Cape Town), so you can check latency from wherever your users actually are, not just from wherever your dev machine happens to be sitting.
Hit run, and we send five packets to the target and time each one.
You'll get back the resolved IP, packet loss percentage, and round-trip time broken down into min/avg/max plus a per-packet table showing the TTL and response time for each of the five pings individually. If you're troubleshooting something specific (a flaky connection, an intermittent timeout), that packet-by-packet view is usually more useful than the averages, since one slow or dropped packet can hide inside a perfectly fine-looking average.
Ping is the simplest way to answer a deceptively hard question: is the problem the network, or is it the application?
If ping to a server comes back fast and clean, and your site is still slow, the bottleneck almost certainly isn't the connection, it's server processing, database queries, or bloated page weight further up the stack.
If ping is slow or lossy, you've at least ruled everything else out.
Running it from multiple regions also surfaces things a single test never will. A server that looks fast from Frankfurt might be showing 190ms+ RTT from Cape Town, not necessarily a problem, but useful to know if a chunk of your traffic comes from that part of the world. We've found CDN misconfigurations this way more than once: a "global" CDN that's quietly only fast in one region.
And because we grab the ASN and country of the resolved IP, it's also a quick way to confirm your DNS is actually pointing where you think it is, handy after a migration or a CDN switch, when a stale record can sit there working just well enough that nobody notices for weeks.
Pinging over IPv4 and IPv6 can give noticeably different numbers. The two address families often take different routes to the same host, through different transit providers, so the RTT you see is the RTT of that particular path, not a property of the server itself.
A host can answer cleanly on IPv4 while IPv6 packets drop or time out, which is a common failure after a network change. Testing both families side by side shows whether the problem is the host, or one of the two paths to it.
The five regions apply to both. IPv6 coverage differs a lot by region, so a target that pings fine from Singapore over v6 can be unreachable or lossy from a region with thinner v6 transit.
What is a ping test?
It sends a small packet to a host and measures how long the reply takes, five times in our case, and reports the round-trip times plus the packet loss percentage.
How do I read the results?
You get the resolved IP, packet loss, and RTT as min, average and max, plus a per-packet table with the TTL and response time for each of the five pings. The per-packet view catches one slow or dropped packet hiding inside a fine-looking average.
Why ping from more than one region?
Because latency is geographic. A host that looks fast from Frankfurt can sit at 190ms from Cape Town, which matters if that's where your traffic is. Multi-region pinging also exposes a CDN that's quietly only fast in one region.
What's the difference between pinging IPv4 and IPv6?
The two families usually take different routes, so the RTT differs per path. Testing both shows whether a problem affects one address family or the host itself.
What does packet loss mean?
The percentage of pings that got no reply. Some loss can be normal on busy paths, but sustained loss points at congestion, filtering, or a host that's struggling to keep up.
