Ping Test

Enter a domain name and find out whether it answers at all — and how quickly. The check runs from our server, so the result says something about the site rather than about your Wi-Fi.

The request goes to our server, not to a third-party service — the site you check never sees you.

How to use

  1. Enter the domain name, without http:// — for example, example.com.
  2. Leave port 443 for a website, or set another one.
  3. Press «Check» and read the response time.

Good to know

This is a TCP check, not an ICMP ping

The classic ping sends ICMP packets, and most hosting providers drop them — a silent server may be perfectly healthy. This tool opens a real TCP connection to the port a browser would use. If the connection is accepted, the service is running; if it is refused, the host is alive but nothing is listening. That distinction is what you actually need.

What the milliseconds mean

The figure is the time to establish a connection from our server in the Netherlands, not from your device. Under 50 ms is a nearby data centre, 100–200 ms is another continent, above 300 ms usually means either a very distant host or a loaded one. To measure your own connection, use the address of your own network instead.

Frequently asked questions

«Not reachable» — is the site definitely down?

Not necessarily. A firewall may be blocking our server specifically, or the site may reject connections from data centres. Try port 80 as well: if it answers there, the problem is with HTTPS rather than with the host.

Why can I not enter an IP address?

Because a check by name is what people actually need, and it keeps the tool from being used to probe address ranges.

How often can I check?

Up to twenty checks a minute. Behind each one is a real outgoing connection from our server, which is why the limit exists at all.

Does the checked site see me?

No. The connection comes from our server; your address is not passed on.
