Ping a host or IP address from the server — see round-trip time, packet loss and whether the host is reachable.
Ping sends a small packet (ICMP echo request) to a host and waits for a reply. The round-trip time tells you the latency between the server and the target, and a lost packet means the host did not respond within the timeout.
This tool runs the ping from our server, not from your device. That means the latency you see is between our server and the target, not between you and the target. It sends 4 packets with a 2-second timeout, which is the standard for a quick reachability check.
The host you ping is sanitized with escapeshellarg to prevent injection, and the tool is rate-limited. Nothing is logged.
From the server. The latency you see is between our server and the target, not between your device and the target.
Either the host is down, a firewall blocks ICMP, or the hostname does not resolve. Many servers disable ICMP responses as a security measure.
Under 50 ms to a nearby server is fast. Under 200 ms is normal for a cross-continent connection. Over 500 ms is slow.
Yes. A few pings per minute is fine.
