Find out how fast your connection reaches SkyServer. Measure ping, jitter and packet loss from your device to our India servers in about ten seconds.
For the most accurate result, use a wired connection, pause downloads and switch off any VPN.
Latency is the time a request takes to travel from your device to the server and back. Lower is better.
The first two requests open the connection and complete the HTTPS handshake. They are thrown away so they do not inflate your result.
Your browser sends ten tiny, uncached requests to our test endpoint, one after another, and times each round trip.
We show the minimum, average and maximum latency, the jitter between requests, and how many requests were lost or timed out.
How each range feels for common workloads.
| Latency | Rating | What it feels like |
|---|---|---|
0–50 ms | Excellent | Instant. Ideal for websites, APIs, RDP, gaming and trading. |
50–100 ms | Good | Smooth for websites, eCommerce and remote desktop work. |
100–200 ms | Fair | Pages load fine, but RDP, voice calls and games feel a little delayed. |
200+ ms | Poor | Noticeable lag in anything interactive. Consider a server closer to your users. |
Data travels through fibre at about two-thirds the speed of light. A server in Mumbai answers an Indian visitor far faster than one in the US or Europe.
Traffic does not always take the shortest path. Some ISPs route through other cities, or even other countries, before reaching the server.
Wireless connections add delay and jitter. A wired Ethernet connection usually gives the lowest and most stable latency.
Downloads, video streaming and other devices on the same network all compete for bandwidth and push latency up.
Every extra hop adds time. A VPN server in another country can add 100 ms or more to every request.
An overloaded server takes longer to answer. Dedicated resources on a VPS keep response times steady under traffic.
SkyServer VPS and Windows RDP run in Tier-3 data centres in India with NVMe storage and fast network uplinks, so your users get the lowest possible latency.
Under 50 ms is excellent and feels instant. 50–100 ms is good for websites, APIs and remote desktop. 100–200 ms is usable but noticeable in RDP, gaming and voice calls. Above 200 ms most interactive use starts to feel slow.
Your browser sends a series of tiny requests to our test endpoint and times how long each one takes to come back. The first requests only open the connection and are discarded, so the result reflects the network round trip, not the TLS handshake.
Not exactly. Browsers cannot send ICMP packets, so this test measures an HTTPS round trip instead. It is usually within a few milliseconds of a real ping and is closer to what your website visitors actually experience.
Jitter is how much the latency changes from one request to the next. Low jitter (under 10 ms) means a stable connection. High jitter causes choppy voice and video calls and laggy RDP sessions even when the average latency looks fine.
Wi-Fi interference, a busy home network, VPNs and proxies, mobile data and your ISP's routing all add delay. Try again on a wired connection with downloads paused and any VPN switched off for a cleaner number.
If most of your visitors are in India, a server in India can cut 100–250 ms off every request compared with a server in the US or Europe. That means faster page loads, snappier RDP and better Core Web Vitals.
