Measure how fast any website responds to a request from your browser. The tool sends an HTTP request through a public proxy, captures the round-trip time, and reports whether the server is up — without any install.
A ping test measures how long it takes for a request to travel from your browser to the target server and back. Traditional ICMP ping is blocked in browsers, so we use an HTTP request instead — which actually gives you a more useful number, because it captures DNS lookup, TCP handshake, TLS negotiation, and the first byte of response. Most users care about that total — that's what governs how fast their site feels.
Enter the URL you want to ping. The tool fires an HTTP request through a CORS-friendly proxy, times the full round-trip, and reports the result in milliseconds along with the HTTP status returned by the origin server. Run it from different locations to get a sense of geographic latency.
Use it when investigating slow page loads, after deploying CDN changes, when monitoring uptime informally, when comparing the speed of two hosting providers, or when troubleshooting SSL handshake issues.
A response under 200 ms usually means the server is well-tuned and geographically close. 200–500 ms is normal for cross-continent requests. Over 1 second points to overloaded servers, slow database queries, missing CDN, or huge initial HTML payloads. Pair this with PageSpeed Insights for the full performance picture.
No — browsers can't issue ICMP. This is HTTP ping, which is more useful for web performance because it captures DNS, TLS, and first-byte time.
Because the request goes through our proxy first, then to the origin server. Local network latency is added on top. For raw network ping use a desktop ping utility.
Ping measures server response time only. PageSpeed measures the full user experience including JS, images, and Core Web Vitals.
