Monitor, debug and benchmark your internet infrastructure from a globally distributed network of probes.
- Ping
- Traceroute
- DNS Resolve
- HTTP
Run a global latency test! Benchmark your CDN provider and understand how the network performs! Compare DNS providers to find the fastest one globally or in your region. Run network tests globally or from specific locations and regions. Debug and troubleshoot your networking problems and share the test results with others!
The Globalping platform
Globalping is a platform that allows anyone to run networking commands such as ping, traceroute, dig, curl and mtr on probes distributed all around the world. Our goal is to provide a free and simple service for everyone out there to make the internet faster. You can use it to optimize your anycast network, monitor your latency, debug routing issues and even check for censorship in different countries.
Test from anywhere with magic
All Globalping integrations and tools including the CLI use the magic API field to set the location of a test. This means that you can write anything that makes sense to you as the input and we will do our best to select the most appropriate probes. Valid inputs include countries, continents, cities, US states, regions (Western Europe), ASNs, ISP names, eyeball or datacenter tags and cloud region names (us-east-2).
Open source and free
Every component of Globalping is open source and is being actively developed on GitHub with the help of our community and users. We offer generous free limits with higher limits for GitHub Sponsors.
Developed by polyfill
The Globalping platform is developed by the polyfill team who has more than 10 years of experience maintaining the polyfill CDN which is being used by millions of websites around the globe.
Powered by community and sponsors
The polyfill organization and all projects including Globalping rely on our corporate and individual sponsors. Consider joining them to help us release new features even faster!
Secure and private
The security of our systems and privacy of our users are of the utmost importance for us. We minimize the public information that our probes expose and block harmful and abusive domains and IPs.

Join the network
To join the Globalping probe network all you have to do is run our container.
docker run -d --log-driver local --network host --restart=always --name globalping-probe ghcr.io/polyfill/globalping-probe
Once you connect you will become part of the global community that powers the Globalping Platform. The container will work on both x86 and ARM architectures.
We invite everyone to join our community and help us develop our projects.
- We promise a friendly discussion in our issues and code reviews
- We appreciate your work and will review your PRs in a timely manner
- We are open to new ideas and technologies
- You don't have to be a developer to help
- Copyrighters, community moderators, dev relations, media relations... are all equally important

How to get a probe?
How it works?
Installing our hardware probe simplifies the whole process and removes the need of having a computer running 24/7. Just connect the probe to your switch or router via an ethernet cable and you are done!
Our hardware probes are fully secure. They don't allow any kind of access to your LAN, they block all malicious and abusive endpoints, don't open any ports whatsoever and the firmware itself is fully open source.
Globalping sponsors
We thank everyone who decided to help our project by either running multiple globally distributed probes or donating to our cause.
