Ping is a latency measurement App that works directly in your web browser. Currently at the moment there is 2 reliable way to do this, using HTTP Fetch and WebSocket.
You can try the App here: https://ping.calvin.al
- Installing the WebSocket Ping Server
- If you want to host it yourself, grab the latest release and then follow this guide for deployment
- Source code for the React client app will be available soon, It's currently a mess, making it unsuitable for public viewing.
- Geodata Lookup API
- Measure latency with HTTP/WebSocket
- Real-time Charts
- World Maps
- Geolocation Data
- Change server modals
- Share button
- Dark Mode 🆕
- Code Refactoring (Yes, the code is a mess right now)
- Show/hide chart toggle
- Better Geolocation data, ability to switch between Origin and Destination
- Ping Multiple servers at once
- Global Latency page / Server browser (Will need servers from all around the world 😮)
- Electron App (ICMP support with Node.js)
- Change charts timeframe (5 and 10 minutes or possibly longer)
Since the Covid-19 outbreak, I have found my internet connection very unstable, therefore this led me to open Command Prompt all the time doing something like ping -t google.com to see how its currently doing.
And I tried finding some ping test site but none of them had a real-time graph or something like that, so I made this 😁
