PING TEST WORKFLOW
Real Round-Trip Sampling, Not a Simulation
Each sample is a genuine HTTP round trip to this site's own server (see Controllers/SpeedTestController.cs) — the same same-origin endpoint the speed test uses for its ping stage — timed in your browser with the high-resolution Performance API. The very first request of every run is discarded as connection warm-up so a one-off TLS/DNS delay never skews your average. Average, best, worst and jitter are all computed from the samples that follow, live, as the test runs.
Ping Test FAQ
What is ping?
Ping is the round-trip time, in milliseconds, for a small request to travel from your browser to a server and back. Lower is better — it means quicker responses for calls, games and page loads.
What counts as a good ping?
Under 20–50 ms is excellent for competitive gaming and calls, under 100 ms is comfortable for most everyday use, and above 150 ms delay usually becomes noticeable in real-time apps.
Why does my ping vary between tests?
Network congestion, Wi-Fi interference, background downloads and even the time of day can all shift latency. Jitter — how much ping varies — is measured separately on the Jitter Test page.
Why is the first sample discarded?
The first request to any server pays a one-off cost for connection setup (DNS, TCP and TLS handshakes) that has nothing to do with your steady-state latency, so it's dropped before the average is calculated.
Is my data stored?
No. Latency is measured live and never written to disk. Recent results are kept only in your browser's local storage.
Why did the test fail or show no data?
Some corporate networks, VPNs, ad blockers or firewalls block repeated test requests. Try again on a different network or temporarily disable blocking extensions.

Test length controls how many round trips are sampled — Quick (12), Standard (24) or Extended (48). Longer tests give a steadier average and a more reliable jitter figure.
