Ping Result Analyzer

Parse pasted ping output for packet loss and min/avg/max latency, with interpretation.

Paste the raw output of a ping run and this tool extracts the packets sent/received, packet loss percentage, and the min/avg/max round-trip time (RTT), then grades it ok / warning / danger at a glance. It recognizes both the Windows form (Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4) and the Linux/macOS form (4 packets transmitted, 4 received).

You no longer have to read the numbers by hand to tell whether there is loss or high latency, which makes it handy for first-pass network triage. To turn repeated latency samples into statistics, use the latency percentile calculator; to grade a server's speed, see the response time tiers.

Paste the full ping output and we will analyze packet loss and response time.

Formats you can paste

You only need the summary lines of a ping run. Either of these two formats is recognized.

  • Linux / macOS: 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss and rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.2/3.4/5.6/0.7 ms (or round-trip min/avg/max = ...)
  • Windows: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss) and Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 3ms, Average = 2ms

How it grades

The status uses the rules below, taking whichever of average latency or loss is worse.

  • OK: 0% loss and average RTT below 100ms
  • Warning: loss up to 10%, or average RTT 100–250ms
  • Danger: loss above 10%, or average RTT above 250ms

High latency points to path congestion or physical distance; packet loss points to a wireless hop, overload, or an MTU problem.

Frequently asked questions

Which lines should I copy and paste?
Paste the entire ping output. The tool automatically finds the summary line (packets transmitted / Packets: Sent) and the RTT line. Even a partial paste works as long as a recognizable line is present.
Does it support both Windows and Linux formats?
Yes. It recognizes Windows 'Packets: Sent/Received/Lost' and 'Minimum/Maximum/Average', as well as Linux/macOS 'packets transmitted/received', '% packet loss', and 'rtt'/'round-trip min/avg/max' lines.
How much packet loss is a problem?
Ideally it should be 0%. Even sporadic 1-2% loss can affect TCP retransmission and video-call quality, and anything above 10% is treated as a clear fault.
What does a high average response time suggest?
Physical distance (intercontinental), path congestion, wireless-hop delay, or router queuing. It also helps to watch how much it varies (mdev/jitter).
Is what I paste sent to a server?
No. All parsing runs entirely in your browser with regular expressions, and the ping output you paste is never transmitted or stored anywhere.
