Understanding Your Results
Latency Ranges
< 50msExcellent - Great for real-time apps
50-100msGood - Suitable for most applications
100-200msFair - Noticeable for interactive apps
> 200msPoor - May impact user experience
What Affects Latency
- •Physical Distance: Light in fiber travels ~200,000 km/s
- •Network Routing: Packets may take indirect paths
- •Congestion: Busy links cause queuing delays
- •Peering: Direct connections are faster than transit
- •CDN Presence: Content closer to you loads faster
How This Test Works
Browser-Based Testing
This test runs entirely in your browser using the Fetch API to measure round-trip time to each cloud region's public endpoints.
Methodology:
1. Browser sends HTTP HEAD request
2. Measures time until response received
3. Repeats 3 times per region
4. Reports average latency

Accuracy Notes
- ⚠️Results are estimates based on HTTP requests
- ⚠️Browser limitations may affect precision
- ⚠️Network conditions change throughout the day
- ✅Good for relative comparisons between regions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do results vary between tests?
Network conditions constantly change due to traffic patterns, routing updates, and infrastructure maintenance. Running the same test minutes apart can show different results. For best accuracy, run multiple tests and look at trends.
How accurate is browser-based latency testing?
Browser tests provide good relative comparisons but aren't as precise as dedicated tools like ping. They include HTTP overhead and are subject to browser limitations, but they represent real-world web performance.
Which region should I choose for my application?
Choose the region closest to your users, not necessarily the one with the lowest latency from your location. Consider data sovereignty laws, available services, and pricing. Many applications use multiple regions for redundancy.
What's the difference between latency and bandwidth?
Latency is the time for data to travel (like ping), while bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transferred per second. Both matter: latency affects responsiveness, bandwidth affects throughput for large transfers.
