How the global measurement works
-
Create the measurement on Globalping
When you start, your browser sends the target, type and region straight to Globalping, whose probes in that region run it; nothing passes through this site, and the quota is your network’s.
-
Probes report one by one
The browser waits half a second after each answer before reading progress again, lists each probe as it finishes, and the result is final once all have.
-
Summarize by region
The meter averages latency and loss by continent; MTR and traceroute rows expand into each probe’s hop-by-hop route.
The five measurements
- PingRound-trip latency and loss, three packets from each probe.
- MTRLoss and latency at every hop on the path.
- TracerouteThe routers on the way to the target.
- HTTPA page’s status code with DNS, connect, TLS and first-byte times.
- DNSHow each place resolves the name; an IP target gets a reverse lookup.
Frequently asked questions
How many measurements can I run per hour?
Anonymous use of Globalping allows 250 tests an hour, one per probe, and up to 50 probes a measurement; the meter shows your remaining quota. When it runs out, the page says when it resets.
Why do some probes show a failed measurement?
The target may block ICMP or connections from that region, or the probe’s network may be briefly down. A failure affects only that probe’s row; the others are listed as usual.
Should I use ping or MTR?
Start with ping for latency and loss by place; where a region is slow or losing packets, switch to MTR to see at which hop it starts.
