Ping a Host/Domain via Ajax Javascript API

This page calls the API to ping a host/domain from one of the API servers.

Ping is a simple method to tell whether a domain/website is accessible. On success, the server will return some data packages to acknowledge the receipt of messages. The ping tool is available on Windows, MAC OS, and Linux. It also tells you the network latency (delay). The IP address is also exposed, however it might not be the real IP if the domain is behind a CDN e.g. CloudFlare.

To check a particular URL, you can visit this online utility (with Ajax and API) which checks the webpage connectivity.
