Ping test
This tool measures Hypertext Transfer Protocol response latency from your browser to a few endpoints. It is labeled as a Hypertext Transfer Protocol ping because browsers cannot send classic Internet Control Message Protocol ping packets.

FAQ
A classic ping measures round-trip time with Internet Control Message Protocol packets. In the browser we measure Hypertext Transfer Protocol latency instead, how long requests take to reach our endpoints, because web pages cannot send Internet Control Message Protocol ping.
No. Command-line ping uses Internet Control Message Protocol. We measure how long Hypertext Transfer Protocol requests take, which is still useful for rough latency.
Distance to the server, your Wi‑Fi or cellular quality, Virtual Private Network overhead, and temporary congestion can all raise latency. One run is a snapshot, not a guarantee.
Run the test a few times on a stable network, pause large downloads, and compare with and without a Virtual Private Network. Extremely high values often mean a blocked or slow path, not a broken browser.
No. It focuses on response latency. Throughput (Mbps) needs a dedicated speed test that transfers larger amounts of data.
