Ping

Free Ping Tool — Website Status Checker

A ping sends a small request to a server and measures whether it answers and how long it takes. Enter any website or host and this tool tells you instantly whether it's reachable, how fast it responds, and whether the problem is the site or your own connection.

The classic use is settling the "is it down for everyone or just me?" question. When a site won't load, a ping from an independent server confirms whether it's a global outage or something local — your network, DNS cache or browser. For anyone running a site, that distinction saves a lot of wasted troubleshooting. Response time also acts as an early warning: a host that used to answer quickly but now lags is often the first visible sign of an overloaded server, which eventually shows up as slow page loads and weaker Core Web Vitals.

Use this tool to verify a site is live after a deploy or DNS change, to spot-check a host you're considering, to confirm an outage before raising a support ticket, or to keep a quick eye on response times. Combine it with a TTFB check for a fuller picture: ping measures basic reachability, while TTFB measures how quickly the server actually starts sending a real page.
