If you are a person interested in electronic games (which are played in front of other people via the Internet), then you may have heard the term Ping, and you may have heard that it is important for enjoying electronic games perfectly, but have you ever thought about its importance?

Therefore, today we will discuss the definition of this term, know its importance in electronic games, how to measure it accurately, and provide important and effective tips to improve (reduce) it in order to enjoy your favorite electronic games without interruption.

Definition of the term “ping” and its importance

When you run an Internet speed test on your device, you will see three values ​​or terms as shown in the image above, which mean as follows:

Upload: This is the term that means the rate of data transfer speed when uploading files or data from your device to the Internet.

The term Download: means the rate of data transfer speed when you upload or download data or files from the Internet to your computer.

Ping: This is the term we want to know today, and it is measured in milliseconds (ms).

Example picture of my device above: The value that appears at the top is 40 milliseconds, which means that the time it takes for my device to issue a signal to reach the other server and then return back to the device is 4 milliseconds.

An illustrative example of Pubg game: This means that if I was playing a game like Pubg, for example, and I was facing someone in front of me whose ping had 80 milliseconds, then if both of us pressed the hit button at the same moment and with the same hit effect, my bullet would only need about 4 milliseconds to reach him, while his bullet It takes 8 milliseconds for it to reach me and hit me (that is, for every two bullets I hit at it, one bullet hits me at the same time). This shows that the lower your ping is, close to zero, the better it is for you during electronic games.
