    Packet Loss Test

    Sends 30 small requests to a global edge network and counts how many fail or time out, alongside average latency and jitter.

    How to read the result

    • 0% — healthy connection.
    • 0.1–1% — acceptable; typical of busy WiFi.
    • 1–3% — voice and gaming quality suffers.
    • Above 3% — a real fault: cabling, hardware or upstream congestion.

    Troubleshooting order

    1. Re-test over Ethernet to separate WiFi problems from line problems.
    2. Swap the cable and try a different router port.
    3. Test at several times of day to detect congestion patterns.
    4. Reboot the modem and router, then re-test.
    5. Share the results with your ISP if loss persists on a wired connection.
