Free Online Ping Test

Ping any hostname or IP address to check reachability, latency, and packet loss. Test from our servers to yours in seconds.

What is a ping test?

Ping sends ICMP echo request packets to a host and measures the response time. It tells you if a server is reachable and how fast the network path is. High latency or packet loss indicates network problems between your server and our checking location.

Monitor this automatically

Run this check every minute, 24/7. Get alerted by email, SMS, or webhook when something breaks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do the ping results mean?

You get round-trip time (RTT) in milliseconds and packet loss percentage. Under 50ms is excellent, 50-100ms is good, over 200ms may indicate routing issues or distance.

My server is not responding to ping. Is it down?

Not necessarily. Many servers and firewalls block ICMP (ping) packets for security. Use the website checker or port scanner to verify if HTTP/HTTPS services are actually running.

How is ping different from a website check?

Ping tests network layer reachability (ICMP). A website check tests the application layer (HTTP). A server can respond to ping but have a crashed web server, or block ping but serve HTTP fine.
