Alan2273 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Ping is the time it takes a request to a server to be answered and replied to.If you click on an URL, it goes to that URL and then the reply from that URL loads the page you are after that is the ping time.Different sites have different ping times, which can often depend on how many servers they are connecting to for the reply.If you are not totally confused now then read this./>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
