Ping test for gaming
For gaming, ping and jitter matter more than download speed. This test measures idle ping, jitter, packet loss and — the one most tests miss — ping while the line is busy.

Questions about this test
What is a good ping for gaming?
Under 20 ms is excellent, 20–50 ms is great, 50–100 ms is playable, over 100 ms is noticeable. Jitter under 10 ms keeps movement smooth.
Why does my game lag when someone else is streaming?
That's bufferbloat — ping spikes under load. Check the bufferbloat grade; if it's C or worse, enable SQM/QoS on your router.
Why is Wi‑Fi ping higher than Ethernet?
Wi‑Fi adds a few milliseconds and, more importantly, jitter from interference and retransmits. Serious gaming is best on a cable.
Is this ping to the game server?
No — it's to the nearest Cloudflare data centre, which is a good proxy for your connection's baseline. Game servers add distance on top.
