Why a browser test reads higher than the ping command
Browsers cannot send ICMP packets, so every web-based ping tool actually measures HTTP round-trip time — the full path including DNS resolution, TCP handshake and TLS negotiation. That runs 30 to 100 milliseconds higher than the pure ICMP round-trip a command-line ping reports.
To get as close to true latency as possible, each target is sampled several times and the lowest value is reported, alongside jitter (the spread between fastest and slowest). High jitter means an unstable connection, which often affects calls and gaming more than raw latency does.
