How it works

ICMP echo requests are sent from our server to the target. The time until each reply arrives is the round-trip time; missing replies count as packet loss.

Safeguards & responsible use

  • Server-side input validation: only syntactically valid hostnames and IP addresses are accepted.
  • Private, loopback, link-local and reserved address ranges are blocked to protect internal infrastructure.
  • Per-client rate limiting and request timeouts.
  • A small, fixed packet count per request.

Frequently asked questions

Does a failed ping mean the host is down?

Not necessarily. Many firewalls block ICMP, so a host can be online and serving websites while ignoring ping.

What is a good ping time?

It depends on distance. Under 50 ms is typical within a region; intercontinental paths often exceed 100 ms.
