What is Ping Tool?
While traditional ICMP ping is not available from web browsers, this tool measures HTTP round-trip time by sending multiple fetch requests to a URL. It calculates minimum, maximum, and average latency along with packet loss percentage.
Useful for checking server responsiveness, comparing hosting providers, or monitoring uptime from your browser.
FAQ
- Is this the same as a real ping?
- Not exactly. This measures HTTP round-trip time rather than ICMP ping. HTTP latency includes TCP connection setup, TLS handshake (for HTTPS), and server processing time.
- Why do some requests show as Timeout?
- The server may be slow to respond, or CORS restrictions may block the request. Timeouts are counted as packet loss.
- How accurate is this?
- Results reflect real HTTP performance from your browser. Actual ICMP ping may be slightly faster as it skips the HTTP layer.
