Test the accessibility and response time of a server or website.
Sending ICMP ping directly from the browser is not possible. You can perform a ping test by running the commands below in your terminal.
A ping test is a basic network diagnostic tool used to check whether a server or network device is reachable. It measures the response time (latency) of the target server by sending ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) packets.
The key metrics to watch in ping results are: response time (in ms), packet loss rate, and TTL (Time to Live) value. Low response time and zero packet loss indicate a healthy connection. When using a proxy, an increase in ping values is normal and depends on the proxy server's location.
You can perform a ping test to measure the performance of ProxyTurk proxy servers. Keep in mind that traffic passing through a proxy will add additional latency. This is because the traffic is routed through an extra server and is completely normal.
Common questions about ping testing and their answers
A ping test is a network diagnostic tool that sends ICMP packets from your computer to a target server to measure response time (latency). It is used to check server accessibility and network delay.
Below 20ms is excellent, 20-50ms is good, 50-100ms is moderate. Above 100ms is considered high latency. For online gaming, below 50ms is ideal; for web browsing, below 100ms is recommended.
A proxy server routes your traffic through itself, adding an extra network hop. ProxyTurk ISP proxies on Superonline infrastructure offer 5-20ms low latency, keeping proxy-related delay to a minimum.
Ping only measures the total round-trip time (RTT), while traceroute shows the latency at each network point (hop) the packet passes through to reach the target server. Traceroute is more detailed for identifying where network issues occur.
Browser-based ping tests work over HTTP/HTTPS and may differ from real ICMP ping results. For more accurate results, we recommend using the ping command from terminal/command line. This page also auto-generates terminal commands for you.
