What does the global ping test measure?
It runs ping or HTTPS measurements from selected probe locations and reports available latency, packet loss, or response details. The two protocols do not measure identical network paths.
Global Ping Test - Network Latency and Packet Loss | IPKivo
Test an IP address or domain from probes in multiple regions and compare network latency, round-trip time and packet loss.
Frequently asked questions
Why do some probes return no result?
The target may block ICMP, or a probe may time out or lack a route to it. A missing result from one probe does not necessarily mean the service is down.
Why does latency vary by region?
Distance, ISP interconnection, and the route between a probe and the target all affect latency. Compare several regions and runs instead of relying on one probe.
