Ping, Jitter, and Latency Stability Test
Check connection responsiveness over time and review latency variation, jitter, stability, and interruption signals that affect calls, cloud work, and online games.
Repeated timed browser requests are used to show how response times change during the measurement period. Keep the tab active for the full test and avoid starting downloads or changing networks during the sample.
What does this test measure?
Repeated timed browser requests are used to show how response times change during the measurement period.
Why is this test important?
Check connection responsiveness over time and review latency variation, jitter, stability, and interruption signals that affect calls, cloud work, and online games.
How do you run the test?
Keep the tab active for the full test and avoid starting downloads or changing networks during the sample.
How should results be interpreted?
Lower and steadier response times are generally better. Large spikes may matter more than a good average for games and real-time communication.
Normal and problematic results
Lower and steadier response times are generally better. Large spikes may matter more than a good average for games and real-time communication.
Technical limitations
Browsers cannot send raw ICMP packets, so the result is an application-level estimate rather than router-command ping or exact packet-loss certification.
Why can the score decrease?
Unstable measurements, denied permissions, unsupported browser APIs, background load, power saving, or an incomplete test can affect the result. When a score changes, the result screen explains the reason.
What should you do if a problem is found?
Compare Ethernet and Wi-Fi, move closer to the access point, pause competing traffic, and test another endpoint or time of day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a good ping for gaming?
Under 30 ms feels immediate, 30 to 60 ms is comfortable for most online games, and above roughly 100 ms you begin to feel the delay in games that need fast reactions. Distance to the server sets a floor that no connection can beat.
What is jitter, and why can it matter more than speed?
Jitter is how much your response time varies from moment to moment. A connection averaging 40 ms that swings between 20 and 200 feels far worse in a call or a game than a steady 60 ms line, because buffers cannot predict the next packet.
Why does my ping spike at regular intervals?
Repeating spikes usually come from something local: a device starting a backup, a crowded Wi-Fi channel, or router power saving. Running the thirty-second stability test while nothing else is active helps separate a line problem from a home-network one.
