Ping & Latency Information Tool

What is ping and what is a good ping?

Ping is the round-trip time, in milliseconds (ms), for a small signal to reach a server and come back. It measures delay, not speed. A lower number means actions feel more responsive.

How the tool rates your ping

• 0–30 ms – excellent: ideal for competitive gaming and live calls.
• 31–60 ms – good: fine for most live activity.
• 61–120 ms – noticeable: delay may be felt in fast games and calls.
• 121 ms and above – high: expect obvious lag.

What affects latency?

Distance to the server, Wi-Fi quality, congestion, the route your provider uses and what else is using your connection. Jitter (variation in ping) and packet loss can make a connection feel worse than its average ping suggests.

How to lower ping

Use Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi, choose a closer game server, pause large downloads and restart the router if results are unusually high.
