Latency & packet loss
Online Ping Test
Ping measures how long a packet takes to travel to a host and back, and how many packets are lost on the way. Pingy runs the test from Frankfurt, New York, London, Singapore and Tokyo so you can see latency from real users' perspective around the world.
Run a Ping test →What it measures
- Round-trip time (min / average / max) in milliseconds
- Jitter — the variation between successive round trips
- Packet loss as a percentage of probes sent
- Per-location reachability across all five regions
How to read the results
- Under ~90 ms is excellent; 90–185 ms is good; higher is fair and may feel sluggish.
- Any sustained packet loss (>1%) points to congestion or an unstable path.
- Big gaps between locations are normal — latency tracks physical distance.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good ping result?
For most uses, under 90 ms round-trip is excellent and under 185 ms is fine. Online gaming and VoIP are the most latency-sensitive.
Why does ping fail but the site loads?
Some hosts block ICMP echo while still serving HTTP. Use the TCP or HTTP check to confirm the service is actually reachable.
