Service-specific latency
Measure latency to Google DNS for a focused look at your connection to a major global edge network.

Google’s network is one of the most globally distributed and reliable places to measure baseline internet latency. If you want to know how quickly your connection reaches a major edge network, this page gives you a focused Google ping test with history, quality labels, and repeat measurements.
0-30 ms. Competitive play and voice chat feel immediate.
31-60 ms. Most online games and live apps still feel smooth.
61-100 ms. Delay becomes easier to notice during faster reactions.
100+ ms. Expect lag, slower responses, and more visible instability.
A Google ping test is often used as a quick benchmark because Google DNS is highly reachable and usually close to internet exchange points. If your latency to Google is low and stable, your base connection is probably healthy. If it is high or erratic, the issue could be local Wi-Fi congestion, ISP routing, or broader network instability.
Google operates a very large global network, which means many users can reach it with relatively predictable latency. That makes it a practical reference point when you want to compare one test today with another tomorrow. It does not represent every game or app, but it does give you a reliable baseline for how quickly your traffic reaches a major internet platform.
If your Google ping is low but another service feels slow, the problem may be specific to that service rather than your whole connection. If your Google ping is already elevated, start by checking your local network first. Try Ethernet, restart a crowded router, and rerun the test over a few minutes to see whether the history graph settles or keeps spiking.
