Ping

Check whether a server, router or website answers, and how quickly. Choose where to test from, such as India, Singapore or Europe, and see each reply with packet loss and response times.

Tests run on Globalping, a free public network of test points. Your browser sends the host you enter to Globalping; nothing goes through Helpnyx.

Try:

Tests by Globalping, a free, open network of test points run by the jsDelivr team.

How to use it

Three steps

  1. Enter a host. A host name such as google.com, or a public IPv4 or IPv6 address.
  2. Choose where to test from. Pick a location close to your users, or far away, to compare.
  3. Read the result. Each reply's time, packet loss, and the fastest, average and slowest times. No replies can mean the host is down, or that it blocks ping.

Questions

Good to know

Why does a working website not answer ping?

Many servers and firewalls block ping (ICMP) on purpose. A website can be fine even if ping times out.

Where do the tests run from?

From Globalping, a free public network of thousands of test points around the world. You choose the location; the test point's city and network are shown with the result.

Can I ping private addresses?

No. Only public host names and addresses can be tested, so the tool can't be used to probe inside private networks.

Is there a limit?

Globalping allows a fair number of free tests per visitor each hour. If you reach it, try again a little later.
