Frequently Asked Questions

How does the ping tool work?

It sends an HTTP request to the host and measures the time taken to receive a response.

Is this the same as terminal ping?

Similar but not identical. Terminal ping uses ICMP packets. This tool uses HTTP requests from a server.

What does the response time mean?

Response time in milliseconds shows how long the server took to respond. Lower is better.

Can I ping private IP addresses?

No, private IPs (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x) are not accessible from the internet.

Why does ping show offline for a working site?

Some servers block HTTP requests or have firewalls that prevent ping responses.
