Browser Network Latency Test

Measure HTTP request round-trip time from your browser to this site's server. Results are not ICMP ping measurements and do not measure download speed.

Network Latency Test

Measures browser-to-server HTTP request round-trip time with 10 fetch() requests and performance.now().

Click "Start Test" to send 10 HTTP requests and measure browser-to-server round-trip time.
How it works: Each request fetches this site origin with cache: 'no-store' and measures elapsed time using performance.now(). Browser work and server response time affect results. Connection setup overhead may appear when a new connection is required.

What is Network Latency?

Network latency is the time it takes for data to travel from your browser to a server and back — the round-trip time (RTT). It is measured in milliseconds (ms) and is one of the most important factors for the responsiveness of online services, especially real-time applications like gaming, video calls, and live trading.

Unlike download speed (bandwidth), which determines how fast large files transfer, latency determines how quickly a connection responds. You can have a fast internet connection with poor latency if the server is geographically distant or if your ISP routes traffic inefficiently.

Latency Rating Guide

< 20msExcellent

Ideal for competitive gaming and low-latency applications. Typical of fast wired connections to nearby servers.

20–50msGood

Suitable for most online gaming and real-time applications. Most broadband connections fall here.

50–100msFair

Acceptable for casual gaming and streaming. May cause perceptible delay in competitive scenarios.

> 100msPoor

Noticeable lag in real-time applications. Consider checking your ISP, router, or VPN configuration.
