What is ping? #ping #speed #latency #inernet #techjargon

#Ping, also known as #latency, refers to the amount of time it takes for a network packet to be sent from a computer or device to a server and back again. In other words, it is a measure of the response time between your computer and the server you are trying to communicate with.

When you use a tool to check your internet speed, such as a speed test website, the tool will typically measure your ping time in addition to your download and upload speeds. A lower ping time is generally better, as it indicates that your connection to the server is more responsive and less laggy. High ping times can result in slower internet speeds, as it takes longer for data to travel between your device and the server.
