FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the Ping Test.
What is a good ping time?
Under 100ms is excellent, under 300ms is good for most uses. For real-time applications like gaming or VoIP, aim for under 50ms.
What does packet loss mean?
Packet loss occurs when data fails to reach its destination. It indicates network congestion, hardware issues, or an overloaded server. Any packet loss above 0% should be investigated.
Why is my ping high?
High latency can be caused by distance to the server, network congestion, DNS resolution delays, or an overloaded server. Using a CDN or closer hosting reduces latency.
