Ping Tester

Run quick HTTP timing probes to tiny same-origin files (cache-busted GETs) and see min/avg/max in milliseconds. This is not ICMP — browsers cannot send raw ping packets from JavaScript. Measurements stay in your tab the same way APK Analyzer and APK String Extractor keep files local: no ping log is uploaded to DroidXP.

Each sample adds a cache-busting query string, waits for the response body, then pauses ~60 ms before the next probe. Use Screen Resolution Checker if you are correlating layout with network quirks.

What this tool actually measures

From a web page you get fetch(), XHR, and WebSocket — not raw ICMP echo. Here we time how long it takes your browser to complete a GET to a static file on the same origin (this site), including downloading the body. That number is useful for rough “how snappy is my path to these assets right now?” checks, not for reproducing ping 8.8.8.8 from a terminal — the same transparency about limits as APK Analyzer gives about manifest parsing.

Why same-origin only

Arbitrary cross-origin URLs would raise CORS issues, opaque timing, and abuse concerns. Presets and a vetted custom relative path keep behaviour predictable: your browser talks to the same host that served this HTML.

How to interpret results

  • First sample often looks slower (cold DNS/TLS cache varies by browser state).
  • Wi‑Fi, VPNs, and battery saver add jitter — compare min/avg/max rather than a single number.
  • Background throttling can inflate times if the tab is inactive; focus the tab while testing.

How to use it

  1. Step 1: Choose a small static path (preset or validated custom /… path).
  2. Step 2: Set sample count and click Run; use Stop between samples if needed.
  3. Step 3: Copy the TSV log for tickets or personal notes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this ICMP ping like the terminal ping command?

No. Web pages cannot send raw ICMP from JavaScript. This tool times complete fetch() requests to small files on the same origin — HTTP/TLS/DNS effects may be included in what you see.

What exactly is being measured?

Milliseconds from starting a GET with cache disabled until the response body is fully read. That is closer to “asset download RTT” than a single network hop.

Why only same-origin targets?

Cross-origin probes hit CORS, opaque responses, and could be abused. Limiting to DroidXP paths keeps behaviour predictable and avoids proxying through our servers.

Does DroidXP log my ping results?

No. Requests go from your browser to the static host like any normal page asset. DroidXP does not receive a special telemetry payload for this tool.

Why do times vary between runs?

Wi‑Fi, CPU scheduling, HTTP keep-alive, browser throttling of background tabs, and CDN caching all affect timings. Run several samples and look at min/avg/max.

Can I use this to diagnose my game server?

Not directly — it only hits files on the DroidXP site origin. For game APIs use your server logs, cloud probes, or desktop ping/traceroute on the appropriate host.

What if I open this from file:// or an offline mirror?

Fetches target http(s) URLs on the configured origin. Offline or wrong hosts will fail — use the live deployed site or a local dev server with matching paths.

Will an ad-blocker skew results?

If a blocker interferes with certain paths, try another target in the dropdown or temporarily allow the site for testing.

Same privacy idea as APK Analyzer?

Yes: the measurement logic is client-side; you are not uploading APKs or ping logs to DroidXP. Network requests are normal web traffic to static files.

Is there a timeout?

Each request aborts after about 15 seconds so a hung tab does not wait forever.
