🌐 Latency Test
What is the purpose of latency test?
The latency test allows you to measure the ping between your connection and the various OuiHeberg datacenters. Choose the datacenter with the best latency for an optimal experience!
How to use it?
- In the "Locations" section, click on "Test Latency"
- A window opens with the list of datacenters
- Click on "Start Test"
- Wait a few seconds
- The results are displayed:
🇫🇷 France - Marseille: 12 ms ⭐ Excellent
🇩🇪 Germany - Frankfurt: 25 ms ✅ Very good
🇺🇸 USA - New York: 85 ms ⚠️ Acceptable
Interpreting the Results
| Latency | Quality | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| < 30 ms | ⭐ Excellent | Perfect for all games, even competitive ones |
| 30-60 ms | ✅ Very good | Good for most games |
| 60-100 ms | ⚠️ Acceptable | OK for non-competitive games |
| > 100 ms | ❌ High | Choose another datacenter |
💡 Tip: Always choose the datacenter with the lowest latency for your game servers.
