Does Ping use real ICMP packets like a terminal ping?

No — browsers can't send raw ICMP packets, so the tool uses timed HTTPS requests instead. The latency figures reflect real network round-trip time to the host but will include a small HTTPS overhead on top of pure ICMP.

Why does my ping show 0% loss even though my connection feels unreliable?

Some hosts block or rate-limit ICMP but still serve HTTPS normally, so you may see low loss here but high loss on a VoIP call. Try a target that better represents your actual traffic, like your video-call server.

What is jitter and why does it matter?

Jitter is the variation in latency between consecutive samples. A steady 30 ms ping is fine; a ping that swings between 10 ms and 200 ms will make voice and video choppy even if the average looks acceptable.

Is my ping history saved anywhere?

No. All results live only in the current session. Nothing is sent to a server, and closing the tab clears everything.

Web ping uses HTTPS request timing from your browser. Native ICMP ping, traceroute and raw sockets stay in the Carbide app.

What it does

Ping lets you measure the round-trip latency between your browser and any host you choose — a domain, an IP address, or a server URL. It sends timed HTTPS requests and shows you live results: latency in milliseconds, packet loss percentage, jitter, and a rolling history of individual samples so you can spot instability at a glance. Whether you're troubleshooting a laggy connection, checking whether a server is reachable, or benchmarking your network before a video call, Ping gives you the raw data you need in seconds. It runs entirely in your browser with no backend calls of its own, no account required, and no data ever leaves your device. It's completely free and works offline as long as the target host is reachable from your network.

How to use the Ping

Open the Ping tool and type a hostname or IP address into the host field (e.g. google.com or 8.8.8.8).
Choose how many ping requests to send and set the interval between them if you want continuous monitoring.
Tap Start to begin. Watch live results appear row by row: latency, loss and jitter update in real time.
Review the rolling summary at the top — minimum, average and maximum round-trip times, plus overall packet loss.
Tap Stop when you have enough data, then copy or share the results.
