What ping measures
Ping is the round-trip time between your device and a measurement server. Lower ping usually feels more responsive.
INTERNET TEST
Ping test for latency and jitter
Measure how quickly your connection responds. Ping and jitter affect online games, video calls, remote work and other real-time apps.
Start the test →Why jitter matters
Jitter shows how much latency changes during the test. Stable latency is important for calls, games and live sessions.
How to improve latency
Use a stable connection, move closer to your router, pause background traffic and compare Wi-Fi with Ethernet if possible.
HOW IT WORKS
How this test works
The test runs in your browser and measures the connection from this device to a nearby measurement server. For reliable results, use one stable connection, pause heavy network activity and repeat the test when conditions change.

REFERENCE GUIDE
How to read your result
| Level | Typical result | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Excellent | Under 30 ms | Responsive gaming, calls and real-time apps |
| Usable | 30–80 ms | Usually fine for everyday use |
| Needs attention | 80+ ms or unstable jitter | Check Wi-Fi, VPNs and background traffic |
TROUBLESHOOTING
Getting an unexpected result?
Test again
Close downloads, cloud backups, VPNs and streaming apps, then repeat the measurement.
Compare connections
Move closer to the router or test over Ethernet to separate a Wi-Fi issue from an internet service issue.
Check at another time
Busy household or neighborhood traffic can change results. Compare several tests instead of relying on one reading.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a good ping?
Lower is better. Under 30 ms is often excellent for real-time use, while higher latency can feel delayed.
What causes high jitter?
Weak Wi-Fi, network congestion, VPNs, background uploads and overloaded equipment can make latency unstable.
