Ping your hosts, such as servers, websites, and APIs

mywpguys’ ping tool sends out requests from more than 40 of our global 25 checkpoints, or you can check by region: Europe, North America, South America, Australia, Asia, or the Middle East. Each checkpoint location makes three requests, tracks the response times, and checks for errors. Handy traceroutes help you identify problem connection paths.

For IPv4, use either a URL (connection includes the DNS resolve) or use the IP address directly. Test IPv6 connections using the IP address only. If your website, server, or device supports ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol), our tool can give you a comprehensive snapshot of your device’s responsiveness.

What is ping?

Ping is a utility that checks to see if an address is available over a network. The tool gives you a short window into the availability and response time between the two devices. Each checkpoint sends three ICMP packets to the host IP address and waits for a response from each. You get the response times for each request and information about any errors or packet loss.

Traceroutes on every check

When you conduct a ping from your computer, you get a traceroute based on the network between your computer and the host, but that only means you can find the server. Using mywpguys’ network, you can get ping results from around the globe. You know that your server or device is accessible from just about everywhere, and you’ve got the traceroutes to prove it. The ping test tool is a great way to spot network latency issues affecting your users worldwide.
