Ping Test
Check if a host is reachable and how fast
Send ICMP echo requests to a public host and measure round-trip latency and packet loss — the classic first check for "is it up?".
How to read the results
- 1.Enter a public hostname or domain.
- 2.We send four echo requests and report minimum, average and maximum round-trip time plus packet loss.
- 3.High loss or no reply suggests the host is down, firewalled, or unreachable from our network.
Why it matters
Ping is the quickest way to tell whether a server is alive and how far away it feels — a first, cheap diagnostic before digging deeper.
Frequently asked questions
A host doesn’t respond but the site works — why?
Many servers block ICMP (ping) while still serving traffic. Use the Port Checker to confirm the actual service ports.
