About

This ping test lets you measure reachability and latency across three modes: ICMP (classic ping), TCP connect (socket timing) and HTTP HEAD (application reachability). It’s useful when ICMP is blocked but TCP/HTTPS is allowed, or when you need to see how quickly a web endpoint responds instead of just the network hop. Configure count, timeout and optional port/URL to mirror real-world traffic paths.

Each run records per-attempt timing plus transmission/receive counts, loss percentage and aggregate min/avg/max/stddev. ICMP reflects raw network round-trips, TCP connect measures how fast a socket handshake completes on a given port, and HTTP HEAD captures server/edge responsiveness with redirects followed automatically. Comparing the three highlights where latency is introduced—network, handshake, or application.

Use it to validate VPN/proxy exits, confirm that a CDN POP is reachable, test firewall changes, or baseline latency before rolling out an update. If packet loss appears, you can pivot to traceroute/MTR to see where it starts. TCP/HTTP modes also help when diagnosing “site down” reports that only affect specific ports or paths.

Results are copyable as JSON so you can paste them into tickets, status pages or monitoring runbooks. Client-side validation prevents port ranges and enforces sensible limits (max 10 attempts, short timeouts) so checks stay fast and safe for the target. The tool avoids internal addresses with SSRF protections and only allows http/https for the HTTP mode.

Tips: run multiple small batches instead of one huge test to catch intermittent spikes; compare HTTP HEAD with a browser waterfall if TTFB looks high; and remember that Wi-Fi, VPN encryption and middleboxes can add variable jitter even when raw ICMP looks stable.

Ping Test (ICMP / TCP / HTTP) is designed to be straightforward: pick your input, choose the output settings, and generate a result you can copy or download. We focus on predictable defaults so you can get a usable output quickly, then fine-tune only when you need to.

If you’re using this tool for work, treat the result like any other export: verify a small sample first, then run the full job. Small checks (file size, encoding, preview, or a spot-check of values) prevent surprises later when you publish, upload, or share the output.

Quality and compatibility often pull in different directions. When you want maximum compatibility, choose widely supported options. When you want smaller size or faster delivery, pick modern formats and compression settings—but keep an original copy so you can re-export without compounding losses.

Privacy matters. Some tools run fully in your browser, while others may need server-side processing (for heavy conversions or specialized libraries). Where uploads are required, keep files non-sensitive and avoid including secrets in inputs. Always review the final output before sharing publicly.

Troubleshooting tips: if the output looks wrong, try changing one setting at a time, and confirm your input is what you think it is (color profile, transparency, encoding, delimiters, or line endings). Many issues come from an unexpected input variant rather than a broken converter.

FAQ

When should I use TCP ping?
Use TCP when ICMP is filtered but you can still connect to a port (e.g., 443). It measures socket handshake time.
Why is HTTP slower than ICMP?
HTTP includes DNS, TLS and server processing. ICMP is just a network echo, so it’s usually faster.
What does packet loss mean here?
Loss indicates requests didn’t complete within the timeout. Check firewall rules, congestion, or hop-by-hop loss with traceroute/MTR.
Can I test many ports at once?
No. To avoid abuse, this tool checks one host/port per run and blocks port ranges.
Why is count limited to 10?
Short caps keep tests under hard timeouts (~10–15s) and reduce load on the target and your session.
Why does HTTP require the same host?
To prevent SSRF, the HTTP URL must match the host you’re testing and use only http/https.
