Ping Test — Free Latency Checker
Measure HTTP latency to global servers. Get min, avg, max and jitter. No app required.
📊 Ping Benchmarks
- <20ms — Excellent. Ideal for gaming.
- 20–50ms — Good. Great for all uses.
- 50–100ms — Average. Fine for streaming.
- 100–150ms — Noticeable lag in games.
- >150ms — Poor. Gaming/calls affected.
📡 What Affects Ping?
- Physical distance to server
- Internet connection type (fiber vs cable vs DSL)
- Network congestion (peak hours)
- WiFi vs Ethernet (WiFi adds 5–20ms)
- VPN usage adds 20–100ms
- ISP routing efficiency
🎮 Ping for Gaming
For competitive gaming, aim for <50ms. Many professional players use a wired connection to ensure consistent low-latency. Choose game servers geographically closest to you. VPNs can sometimes improve routing but typically increase ping.
