How Do Ping and Port Scanning Work?

Ping sends ICMP packets to a host and measures response time. Port scanning checks which TCP ports are open and accepting connections — helping diagnose service availability issues.

📡

Configurable Ping

Choose packet count (3, 4, 6, 10). Stats: min/avg/max latency and packet loss.

🔌

Common Port Scanner

Check 14 key ports: HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, FTP, SMTP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and more.

Cloud-Based Check

Testing from our server — see site availability from outside, not just your local network.

Uptime Monitoring

Need constant monitoring? Create a monitor — checks every minute with notifications.

Common Mistakes

❌

ICMP blocked = server is downMany servers block ICMP. Ping fails but site works — check ports instead.

❌

High ping = server problemLatency depends on geography. 150ms between continents is normal, not an error.

❌

Closed ports — cause for alarmClosed ports of unused services are good. Unnecessary open ports are a risk.

❌

One check = sufficientNetworks are unstable. A single timeout ≠ a problem. Check multiple times or set up monitoring.

Best Practices

✓

Combine ping and port checksPing shows host availability, ports show specific service availability. Use both.

✓

Check from different locationsThe problem may be local. A cloud test shows the real picture.

✓

Close unused portsEvery open port is a potential attack vector. Keep only necessary ports open.

✓

Set up monitoringManual checks do not scale. Set up automated monitoring with notifications.
