Jitter Test

Click Measure jitter Check how much your ping varies to spot instability before calls, gaming, or streaming.

Network stability

Ping jitter test

Measure how much your ping varies over a short sample window.

Ready

This test sends multiple ping samples to estimate jitter and stability.

Why run a jitter test

A jitter test measures how much your ping varies over time, which is a key signal of connection stability. Even with good speeds, high jitter can cause choppy calls, lag spikes, and unstable streams.

How the test runs

The tool sends a series of lightweight ping samples from your browser and tracks how much response time changes between them. The test updates on each run and stops when you leave the page.

How to interpret results

Lower jitter means your connection is stable and responsive. Higher jitter suggests variability that can disrupt real‑time apps. Run the test multiple times and compare results to see if Wi‑Fi conditions or congestion are affecting stability.

Low jitter supports smooth calls and gaming.
High jitter often indicates interference or congestion.
Results can vary by time of day and network load.

This test focuses on latency variation and does not provide a full packet‑loss diagnostic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is jitter in a network test?

Jitter is the variation in ping or latency over time. High jitter means your connection is unstable even if average speed is fine.

How is jitter measured in this test?

This test sends multiple ping samples and measures how much response time changes between each sample. The result reflects how stable the connection is.

What is a good jitter value for calls or gaming?

Under 10 ms is generally good for calls and gaming. 10–25 ms is often acceptable, while higher values can cause issues.

Why is my jitter high?

Wi-Fi interference, network congestion, and background uploads can increase jitter. Try a wired connection or stop heavy downloads.

Jitter vs latency: what is the difference?

Latency is the time it takes for a ping to return. Jitter is how much that latency changes between pings.

Does jitter affect video calls?

Yes, high jitter can cause audio dropouts and choppy video. Stable jitter leads to smoother calls.

Does jitter affect gaming?

Yes, high jitter can cause lag spikes and inconsistent input response. Lower jitter means more stable gameplay.

How can I reduce jitter on Wi-Fi?

Move closer to your router, reduce background traffic, or switch to Ethernet. Restarting your modem or router can also help.

Does this jitter test measure packet loss?

This test focuses on latency variation and is not a full packet loss diagnostic. Use a dedicated tool if you need packet loss analysis.

Can I run a jitter test on mobile?

Yes, it works on mobile browsers with an internet connection. Results can vary with signal strength and network load.

Why do jitter test results vary between runs?

Network conditions change throughout the day based on traffic and Wi-Fi interference. Run the test several times to compare.

Is this jitter test safe and private?

Yes, it sends lightweight ping samples and does not access personal files. Results are shown in the browser and not stored.
