Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about ping utilities and network hops.
What is a ping test?
A ping test measures the round-trip latency for data packets sent from your client machine to a destination server or IP host. It uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request and reply commands to verify server responsiveness.
What is a good ping latency value?
A ping latency under 30ms is considered excellent (standard for local fiber/broadband). Values between 30ms and 100ms are acceptable for standard web browsing, while anything above 150ms can result in noticeable lags.
Why can browsers not perform native raw ICMP pings?
Web browsers operate inside strict security sandboxes. Raw ICMP sockets require system-level administrator privileges, so browser scripts use simulated HTTP fetch connections or API loops to estimate response latency instead.
