This tool runs on the server.
How it works
Ping sends small ICMP packets to a host or IP address and measures how long each reply takes to return. It is the most basic test to know whether a server is reachable and how fast it responds.
The test runs from our servers, not from your device, so it reflects connectivity to the destination from a location outside your network. Results arrive in real time: you will see each reply with its latency and, at the end, a summary with the minimum, average, maximum, and percentage of lost packets.
Use cases
- Confirm whether a server or site is online when you suspect an outage.
- Measure latency to a host to diagnose slowness or unstable connections.
- Check from the outside whether a firewall or the host itself is blocking traffic.
- Detect packet loss that degrades calls, games, or transfers.
Frequently asked questions
What does latency in milliseconds mean?
It is the round-trip time (RTT) of a packet to the destination and back. The lower, the better: values of tens of milliseconds are good; hundreds of milliseconds indicate delay or distance.
Why does a host not respond to ping if the site works?
Many servers and firewalls block ICMP traffic for security. Not responding to ping does not mean they are down: they may simply have that response disabled.
What is packet loss?
It is the percentage of sent packets that never received a reply. A value above zero usually indicates congestion, a saturated link, or an intermittent problem on the route.
Is the result the same as pinging from my computer?
Not necessarily. The test runs from our servers, so the latency and route depend on that location. It is useful to compare with your own ping and isolate whether the problem is in your network.
