Packet Loss Test

Detect packet loss and network reliability issues

What is Packet Loss?

Packet loss occurs when data packets traveling across a network fail to reach their destination. It's like sending letters that never arrive at their address.

Even 1-2% packet loss can severely impact online gaming, video conferencing, and VoIP calls, causing disconnections, freezing, and poor quality.

Common Causes

  • Network Congestion: Too much traffic on your network or ISP
  • Hardware Issues: Faulty router, modem, or network cables
  • WiFi Interference: Weak signal, interference from other devices
  • ISP Problems: Issues with your internet service provider's network
  • Software Issues: Firewall conflicts, outdated drivers
