How to read your result

ResultWhat it meansWhat to do
Your connection is unstable — fix this side firstLatency swings, frames go missing, or latency jumps when the connection is busy.Fix your side first: cable, 5 GHz, stop background uploads, enable SQM/QoS. Do not buy anything yet.
Your connection is stable, but slowConsistent, no timeouts — so the local link is not the problem.Most likely distance or the route your ISP takes. Check the game server region before buying a route optimiser.
Your connection looks healthyLow, steady latency that survives load.You do not need a latency tool. If one game still feels bad, the cause is elsewhere.

Frequently asked

Is this the same as my in-game ping?

No. The test measures the round trip between your browser and our edge. Your in-game ping also includes the path from our edge to the game server, which no web page can see. Treat the result as a health check on your own connection.

Why is there a WebSocket phase?

It acts like a game server tick loop: 20 small frames per second for 30 seconds. That exposes stability problems that occasional HTTP requests miss.

Do you store my results?

No. The probe endpoints echo and return nothing; all statistics are computed in your browser. Privacy

Why is my ping worse in the evening?

Evening lag is congestion, and it has three possible places: your own uplink (a backup or a stream), your neighbourhood, or the route your provider takes at peak hours. Test with everything else disconnected before blaming the network outside your home. Fix guides

Does QoS or SQM help my ping?

It helps exactly one symptom: latency that rises while the connection is busy. Set the bandwidth to the rate you actually measure, not the advertised one. On an idle line QoS does nothing, and it cannot fix distance or a bad route. Fix guides
