How to Use This Tool

STEP 1

Click Test Packet Loss

The test transmits 40 consecutive small network probes to measure latency fluctuations.

STEP 2

Watch Progress Bar

Avoid opening heavy downloads or videos while the test is active for accurate results.

STEP 3

Review Jitter & Drops

A healthy connection for online gaming will have 0.0% packet loss and jitter under 5ms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is packet loss and why does it cause lag?

Packet loss happens when data packets traveling between your computer and a server fail to arrive. In games, this causes players to teleport (rubberband) or shots to not register.

What is network jitter?

Jitter is the variance in ping latency over time. For example, if ping bounces erratically between 20ms and 140ms, high jitter makes gameplay feel choppy.

What causes Wi-Fi packet loss?

Common causes include channel interference from neighboring Wi-Fi networks, weak wireless signal through concrete walls, or router bufferbloat.

How can I eliminate packet loss?

Switch from Wi-Fi to a direct Ethernet cable, restart your modem/router, and check if background cloud backups (OneDrive/Google Drive) are saturating upload bandwidth.
