VPS ping test: find the fastest data centre

Free · runs in your browser · 31 locations

The closer your server is to your users, the snappier everything feels — SSH, websites, game servers, VPNs. Press the button and your browser will measure the round-trip time to public test endpoints in each data centre. Nothing is installed.

How to read the result

• Under 80 ms — excellent. Interactive work, VPNs and game servers feel local.
• 80–180 ms — fine for websites, bots, APIs and most self-hosted apps.
• Over 180 ms — noticeable lag for SSH and gaming; still OK for batch jobs, backups and crawlers.

Pick the location closest to your users, not necessarily to you. A shop for German customers belongs in Frankfurt even if you live in Thailand. For a personal VPN or a dev box, pick the fastest location from this list.

Why the numbers differ from game ping

The test times a small HTTPS request, so it includes a little request overhead on top of the raw network delay. The absolute numbers may be a few milliseconds higher than an ICMP ping, but the order of locations — which one is fastest for you — is the same.
