What Is Your Network Latency?

Click Start to run 10 ping rounds. This test measures the time-to-first-byte (TTFB) of fetch requests to the same origin, showing min, average, and max latency in milliseconds.

This test sends 10 HTTP fetch requests and measures the time-to-first-byte (TTFB) for each, reporting min, average, and max latency in milliseconds.

Latency under 50 ms is considered excellent; competitive gaming typically requires sub-20 ms, while video calls work fine up to 150 ms.

What Do Your Results Mean?

Result Range Meaning
Good Below 50 ms average Excellent responsiveness for gaming, video calls, and real-time applications.
Warning 50–100 ms average Acceptable for browsing and streaming but may cause slight delay in competitive gaming.
Bad Above 100 ms average Noticeable lag in real-time apps. Check for Wi-Fi congestion, VPN routing, or ISP issues.

Common Issues and How to Fix Them

Latency spikes on some rounds but not others

Network jitter is common on Wi-Fi. Switch to a wired Ethernet connection to reduce variance. The min value reflects your true baseline latency.

All pings show high latency (200+ ms)

Disable VPN if active, move closer to your router, or restart your modem. Test at off-peak hours to rule out ISP congestion.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the latency test work?

It sends 10 fetch requests to the same origin server and measures the time-to-first-byte (TTFB) for each. Results show min, average, and max latency.

What is a good latency value?

Under 50ms is excellent, 50-100ms is good, 100-200ms is acceptable. Above 200ms may cause noticeable lag in real-time applications.

Why does my latency vary between pings?

Network conditions fluctuate due to routing changes, congestion, and server load. The min value is closest to your true connection latency.

Is this the same as a traditional ping test?

Similar but not identical. Traditional ping uses ICMP packets, while this uses HTTP fetch TTFB. Both measure round-trip time to a server.
