Ping Tool Online Free
Test connectivity and HTTP response time to any domain or IP address. Measure DNS lookup, first byte time, and total latency across multiple runs.
All Network and Web ToolsHow the Online Ping Tool Works
Browsers cannot send ICMP packets, the protocol used by the classic command-line ping. Instead, this tool sends HTTP HEAD requests to your target host and measures the full round-trip time from your browser: DNS resolution, TCP connection, and server first response.
The results reflect real-world HTTP latency from your location to the server. They are comparable to what a user in your network experiences when loading that site.
What is measured
Total round-trip HTTP response time including DNS lookup and connection overhead, comparable to browser page load latency.
Multiple runs
Run 4, 8, or 16 pings to see consistency. Min/avg/max stats surface jitter and outliers clearly.
No installation
Works entirely in the browser. No software to install, no extensions, no proxy required.

Command-line ping sends ICMP Echo packets, which require OS-level network access. Browsers are sandboxed and cannot send ICMP. This tool measures HTTP response time instead, which reflects real user-facing latency more accurately for web services.
Under 100ms is excellent. 100-300ms is acceptable for most use cases. Over 300ms will be noticeable for interactive web apps. Over 500ms suggests significant routing issues or a server that is geographically far from you.
Yes, enter a bare IP address. The tool will attempt an HTTP connection to that IP. If no web server is running on port 80/443 or CORS blocks the request, the tool will still measure the time to first connection refusal, which gives a useful latency signal.
Network latency varies due to routing path changes, server load, DNS caching (or lack thereof), browser processing overhead, and general internet congestion. Running 8-16 pings and comparing min/avg/max gives a more reliable picture than a single result.
