Free Online Ping Test — Website Latency in 5 Samples
No terminal needed: the Ping Test measures how fast any website responds to a real HTTP request from your location. It sends five requests, reports minimum, average and maximum latency plus jitter — perfect for checking whether a slow site is the server, the CDN, or your own connection.

- Read the stats — Compare avg latency and jitter to spot unstable hosting.
What HTTP Latency Actually Measures — Under the Hood
Each sample is the time from fetch() start to first response byte: DNS lookup, TCP connect, TLS handshake, server processing and network round-trip combined. Jitter (max minus min) reveals instability — a low average with high jitter usually means a congested route or cold CDN cache, not a slow origin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a real ICMP ping?
Browsers cannot send ICMP, so this is an HTTP ping — it measures full request latency, which is actually closer to what visitors experience.
Why are my numbers higher than a server-side ping?
You measure the whole path: DNS, TLS handshake, server time and your network.
Does it work on password-protected sites?
It measures response time even for 401/403 answers — the server still answered.
