PingAtlas measures network round-trip times directly from your own iPhone, iPad or Mac β€” no remote service, no account and no tracking. WORLD Pick from ten featured cities β€” New York, Los Angeles, Mumbai, Berlin, London, Sydney, Tokyo, Moscow, Dubai and Singapore β€” or search a directory of 202 cities and 278 public destinations. Each reading names the city, country, actual provider and destination address. Lower latency feels closer. GAMES Compare 109 titles with search, genre filters and favourites. Fortnite includes 16 publisher-published diagnostic hosts across Europe, the US and Mumbai. Other titles use clearly labelled regional references, or you can test a public server address you enter yourself. SERVICES Check how quickly 32 public web addresses respond β€” calls and chat, streaming, work and cloud tools such as Discord, Zoom, Teams, Meet, WhatsApp, Signal, Netflix, Spotify, YouTube, Slack and GitHub. These are HTTPS response-header times, measured separately from pings. HONEST BY DESIGN β€’ Missing replies show as "No reply" β€” never 0 ms. β€’ No GPS and no location permission. β€’ No ads, no analytics and no account. Results stay on your device unless you export them. β€’ HTTPS checks use HEAD requests only β€” no redirects, cookies or downloads. Every measurement starts on your device. Routing, congestion, Wi-Fi and mobile networks all affect the result.
