Ping
Use Ping to check a website, host, or port with HTTP(s), ICMP, or Host / Port mode. Compare connection results and investigate reachability problems.
Ping: a practical guide
Ping helps you check whether a website, network host, or service port responds from the checking service. Use the result to answer a specific troubleshooting question and keep the exact input with your findings so later comparisons use the same target.
How to use Ping
Choose HTTP(s) for a web address, Ping (ICMP) for an echo check, or Host / Port for a service connection. Enter the target requested by the selected mode, then select Submit. Review the result for that mode rather than assuming all protocols measure the same thing.
Understanding the result
HTTP(s) checks a web endpoint. ICMP tests echo responses, while a port check tests access to a selected service. A host may block ICMP and still serve a website. Conversely, a responsive host does not prove every application on it is healthy.
Common questions
Why can a website work when ping fails?
Firewalls and network policies may block ICMP even when HTTP or HTTPS works. Repeat the check with the mode that matches your question.
Does this show the connection from my own device?
The result represents the checking service and its network path. Your local network, geographic location, or access restrictions may produce different results.
