About Ping Online
This tool sends ICMP echo requests (ping packets) to a hostname or IP address and measures the round-trip time. The result tells you whether the host is reachable, how fast the network path to it is, and whether any packets are lost in transit.
Ping is the most basic network reachability test. Use it to confirm a server is online, measure latency from your location, diagnose intermittent connection issues, or compare network paths to different servers.
Note that some hosts and networks block ICMP for security reasons, so a failed ping doesn't always mean the host is down — TCP-based checks (HTTP, SSH) may still work. Conversely, low latency on ICMP doesn't guarantee that application-level traffic will be fast.
How to use this tool
How to ping a host (TCP-based)
Enter the host
Type a hostname, domain, or public IPv4/IPv6 into the Host field. Up to 253 characters. Private/loopback IPs are rejected.
Set the ping count
"Ping count" controls how many probes run sequentially (1–20, default 4). More probes give a better latency average and packet-loss estimate.
Press Run
ICMP echo is unavailable in this runtime, so each "reply" is actually a TCP connect to port 443 (HTTPS). Reported latency is the connect-handshake round-trip from our server.
Read the output
pingOutput is a classic-ping-style transcript with per-probe latencies, packet-loss percentage, and min/max/average. A 100% loss usually means port 443 is firewalled, not that the host is down.
