Ping IPv4
Measure reachability and latency over IPv4.
A ping sends ICMP echo requests to a target and measures how long the replies take. Running it from a remote probe shows whether the internet at large can reach the address, which is a different question from whether your own connection can.

How Ping IPv4 works
What it does
Measure reachability and latency over IPv4.
What you get
IPv4 response times and packet loss from a remote probe.
Live data sources
The target is sent to a network provider. Results include their source; timeouts and unavailable data are clearly marked.
What if a check cannot finish?
Confirm your input and try again. A timeout, blocked request, or unavailable provider is not proof that a domain is broken. Internet measurements and third-party services have limits.
Ping IPv4 — frequently asked questions
What is a normal ping time?
Within a country, typically 5–50 ms. Intercontinental links run 100–300 ms. Consistency matters more than the absolute number: fluctuating times point to congestion.
The host does not reply. Is it down?
Not necessarily. Many servers and firewalls drop ICMP deliberately while serving traffic normally. Use a port check to test the actual service.
Why does packet loss matter?
Lost packets have to be retransmitted, which stalls TCP and makes calls and streams break up. Any sustained loss above about 1% is worth investigating.
