How to Use
  1. Enter any hostname (example.com) or IP address.
  2. Pick how many nodes to ping from (3-20). Each node runs 4 pings.
  3. Results stream in node-by-node with RTT min / avg / max and packet loss.
  4. Click the "Full report" link after to see the check-host.net permanent report URL.
Target
Pings issued server-side from check-host.net. Free, no signup, no MaxMind.
Try:
Per-node latency

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do the pings come from?

From check-host.net's global node network — Finland, USA, Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany, Netherlands, Russia, Ukraine, Iran, India, Japan, and more, depending on availability.

Does this send packets from my browser?

No. Browsers can't send raw ICMP. Each ping is issued by a check-host node on your behalf. Your browser only makes an HTTPS call to start the run and poll for results.

Why do I sometimes see a timeout?

Some nodes are slower or offline temporarily. The tool waits up to ~18s for all nodes; any node that hasn't reported by then is marked as timeout.

Common Use Cases

Is my site up worldwide?

Distributed reachability check — see if the outage is global or regional.

Compare CDN regions

RTTs from nodes on different continents reveal CDN edge placement quality.

Investigate a slow link

If one node's RTT is 10x higher than the others, the issue is likely in that path.
