Ping is a measure of latency, which is the response time of your Internet connection. It refers to how fast your device can send and receive signals from a server. The higher your ping, the more likely you are to experience lag and online lags.

Ping rate is measured in milliseconds (ms).

Although the terms "ping" and "lag" are often used interchangeably, they are not necessarily the same thing. Ping refers to the signal itself sent from the device to the server, while latency is the time it takes for the ping to be received. However, ping and latency are used to indicate the time it takes for a data packet to be sent and received.

• Ping up to 100 ms is considered average for most connections.
• A ping of 50 ms or less is considered very good and is referred to as "low ping".
• With 25 ms and 20 ms, it is considered ideal for video conferencing and gaming.
• A ping of 150 ms or more is considered slow and is referred to as "high ping".
