GCP ping test: measure latency to every Google Cloud region

Cloud Ping sends HTTPS requests from your browser to Google Cloud's public regional endpoints (Cloud Run services from gcping.com). It reports median latency, jitter and failed samples for each of the 43 GCP regions in the catalog.

Cloud Ping lists the GCP regions nearest to your approximate location, then re-ranks them by measured latency once a test finishes. The lowest median latency is the GCP region that is fastest from your network right now.

Cloud Ping measures 8 providers and 205 regions: Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, DigitalOcean, Akamai / Linode, Vultr. You can test all of them, or open a provider page to ping only that cloud.

A speed test measures download and upload bandwidth to one nearby server. Cloud Ping measures latency (round-trip time) to many cloud regions, so you can choose where to run workloads, not how fast a single file downloads.

Your IP is used only to guess nearby regions. Precise location is optional and stays in the browser. Finished runs are saved in this browser so you can compare networks and times of day; they are not uploaded to Cloud Ping.

Physical distance is a strong hint, but internet routing, congested paths, and the endpoint we probe can make a farther region faster. That is why Cloud Ping re-ranks regions by measured latency after a test, not by map distance alone.
