Jitter Test

Jitter is the variation between latency samples. High jitter can make a connection feel unstable even when average latency looks acceptable.

What jitter means

A stable connection returns packets with similar timing. When timing swings up and down, games feel inconsistent and calls can sound choppy.

How this site measures jitter

The packet loss test calculates jitter as the average absolute difference between neighboring round-trip latency samples.
