What is a good ping value?

Under 20 ms is excellent, under 50 ms very good, under 100 ms good. Over 200 ms is considered high (measured from Germany).

Why no classic ICMP ping?

From PHP, a connection to common ports is made instead of ICMP and its response time measured – this works reliably without special privileges and reflects reachability well.

What does the ping test measure?

The ping test measures the response time (latency) between our server in Düsseldorf and the specified target. 4 connection attempts are made and minimum, maximum and average are calculated. A low ping means a fast, responsive connection – ideal values for web servers are under 50 ms within Europe. Note: since this test is started from our server, it measures the reachability of the target from the German internet – not your personal ping.
