How to ping a website

Ping from Find My Phone

A ping network test transmits data packets to a specific IP address and either confirms or denies there is connectivity between IP-networked devices . In the case of confirmation, you will discover the “latency” (i.e., the length of the response time) by performing a ping test.

The ping command sends an ICMP packet to a networked computer. If you try to ping a hostname, the ping program performs a DNS request to discover the host’s IP address. The IP address is displayed in the command output.
