Let’s Check Your Proxy Ping!
Using the BrowserPing latency tool makes it easy to verify whether your current proxy setup has acceptable latency — and more importantly, whether that latency is stable or affected by major outliers. Before visiting, make sure you’re actually connected to your proxy by checking your IP with a tool like whoer.net, so your efforts don’t go to waste.
Once confirmed, head over to BrowserPing. The tool automatically starts measuring your ping in real time by sending a request to your browser every second and visualizing the response times on a live-updating graph. Unlike traditional speed tests that only check once and return an average result, BrowserPing helps you monitor the stability of your connection over time, a crucial metric when evaluating proxies.
You’ll notice that each ping is color-coded, which makes it easy to visually assess your latency. Ideally, you want your pings to stay in the green or yellow range, but the acceptable zone can vary depending on the type of proxy you’re using.
How Can I Improve My Ping?
There are many factors at play that influence your proxy ping, so it is hard to break it down into 2-3 short sentences. For this reason, we created a comprehensive guide on how to improve your mobile proxy ping, which is definitely worth a read. There is a lot of room for optimization in this area, so no need to stress if you just don’t seem to get your ping settings right.
