Ping Test
Measure TCP connection latency and reachability to any public host or IP address across specific ports.
Run tool
Check network reachability and measure connection response times to any public server or web address with this TCP latency check. The tool tests standard TCP handshakes across chosen ports, providing practical timing metrics for network diagnostics, server monitoring, and service availability checks.
Enter any valid public domain or IP address, select the target port number, and specify the number of connection attempts from one to five. Each attempt uses a three-second timeout to establish a TCP connection. Once finished, the test reports the duration of each connection in milliseconds rounded to two decimal places, along with the average latency and the overall packet loss percentage.
Because this utility relies on TCP connection establishment rather than ICMP echo packets, you can verify specific services like web servers on port 80 or 443, mail servers, or custom endpoints. It provides quick, clear metrics to help identify connectivity delays, firewall blocks, or offline endpoints.
Instructions
- Enter a public domain name or IP address in the Host field. If left empty, the tool uses example.com by default.
- Specify the target port number between 1 and 65535, such as 443 for HTTPS. If left empty, the tool uses port 443 by default.
- Choose the number of connection attempts to perform, between 1 and 5. If left empty, the tool uses 3 attempts by default.
- Click Run to initiate the connection tests and view latency measurements.
Examples
- Testing web latency: Set Host to example.com, Port to 443, and Attempts to 3. The output lists three latency values in milliseconds, the average time, and 0.0% loss if all attempts connect.
- Checking an alternative port: Set Host to example.com, Port to 80, and Attempts to 2 to measure HTTP connection latency.
FAQ
Does this tool use ICMP echo requests like standard command-line ping?
No. This tool measures TCP connection latency by establishing network handshakes to the specified port on the target public host, rather than sending ICMP packets.
What happens if a connection attempt times out?
Each attempt has a 3-second timeout limit. If a connection cannot be established within that window, the attempt is marked as unsuccessful and factored into the total loss percentage.
Can I test private or local network IP addresses?
No. The tool requires a reachable public domain name or public IP address to initiate connection tests.
