Ping Test – Free Online Latency and Jitter Checker
This ping test measures how long a small request takes to reach a public server and come back, in milliseconds. Lower is better, and steady numbers matter more than one lucky reading, so the tool also reports jitter and packet loss. It is useful for checking a game connection, a video call, Wi-Fi in a different room, or whether a VPN slows you down. Because it runs inside your browser, results are approximate and read a little higher than a command-line ping.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good ping?
Under 30 ms is excellent, 30 to 60 ms is good for most games and calls, 60 to 120 ms is fair, and above that you may notice lag.
What is jitter?
Jitter is how much the ping changes from one reply to the next. High jitter makes video calls and online games feel choppy even when the average ping looks fine.
Why is my browser ping higher than the ping command?
A browser sends a full web request, not a bare network packet, so there is extra overhead. Use the numbers to compare tests on this tool rather than against command-line results.
What does packet loss mean here?
It is the share of requests that got no reply. Any steady loss points to a weak Wi-Fi signal, a busy network or a blocker, and should be fixed.
How can I lower my ping?
Use a wired connection or sit closer to the router, close apps that use bandwidth, restart the router and test again with and without a VPN.
