<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">High ping and latency can result in frustrating internet experiences, especially when it comes to real-time application uses like online gaming or streaming.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">For online gamers, high ping may ruin their gaming performance so poorly.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">That’s why questions like “Why is my ping so high in CS GO”;<em> “Rainbow Six Siege why is my ping so high”; “Why is my Discord ping so high”; “Why is my Valorant ping so high”; “</em>How to fix ping in Valorant”; “How to reduce ping in League Of Legends”; ... are so common among gamers. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Here are basic explanations on what causes high ping &amp; <a href="https://gospeedcheck.com/article/how-to-improve-ping-536" target="_blank"><strong>how to improve ping</strong></a>; let’s take a look.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Why is my Overwatch ping so high?</em></p>

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-13"><strong>Why is my ping so high?</strong></h2>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">To be honest, quite a variety of reasons can cause high ping. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The following are some of the most common reasons; let’s see!</p>

<p style="text-align:center"><iframe frameborder="0" height="289" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Uso-S4mdBFQ?modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0" width="514"></iframe></p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-19">Slow internet connection speed</h3>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Speaking of the question “why is my internet ping so high?”, the speed of your internet connection might be a reason.  </div>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Of course, the internet speed can impact your ping (or latency).</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">A faster connection speed allows you to transmit and receive data more quickly, decreasing your ping. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">A slower connection speed, on the other hand, might result in high ping. This is especially visible when playing online games.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">High-speed internet is available through satellite, cable, and fiber, but only cable and fiber provide minimal latency. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">A dial-up connection, for example, with a 56k modem, will have a greater ping than a decent broadband connection.</p>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><img alt="Why is my League ping so high" src="https://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/blog/how-to-improve-ping-2.png" style="display:block; height:360px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:640px"></div>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Why is my League ping so high?</em></p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-30">Inadequate bandwidth </h3>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Another reason for “why is my ping so high in League and other games” might simply lie in the insufficient bandwidth.</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Though bandwidth seems not as important as connections and network efficiencies, you still need to have an adequate bandwidth for your online demand. </div>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Inadequate bandwidth affects the length of time it takes for data to be sent out and then returned. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">This results in higher ping (latency) and, most likely, lagging throughout the online process.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><img alt="Why is my ping so high in Fortnite" src="https://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/blog/how-to-improve-ping-12.png" style="display:block; height:360px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:640px"></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Why is my ping so high in Fortnite?</em></p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-39">Too many devices connected to a single WiFi</h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The more devices connected to a single Wi-Fi at the same time, the higher chances that you will experience a poorer ping rate or latency.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">So, anytime you wonder “why is my ping so high all of a sudden,” then it’s a good idea to check out whether many other people and devices are connected to your home Wi-Fi. </p>

</blockquote>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Remember that online activities like streaming videos, downloading large files, etc takes a significant amount of internet bandwidth.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">So, if there’s any device connected to your network connection to perform such heavy uses, then it might be the reason why you’re experiencing high ping rates. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><img alt="Ping WiFi test" src="https://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/blog/how-to-improve-ping-4.png" style="display:block; height:360px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:640px"></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Ping WiFi test</em></p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-51">Geographical location between your device and the server</h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">For sure, the geographical distance between your system and the server impacts your ping. </p>

<p dir="ltr">High ping may result from the fact that your server location is far from you and it takes more time for a data packet to move between you and the server.<strong> </strong></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">For example, it will take longer for a data packet to travel between a player in the US and a server in Germany than for one transmitted between a player and a game server just in the US.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><img alt="Why is my Roblox ping so high" src="https://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/blog/how-to-improve-ping-5.png" style="display:block; height:360px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:640px"></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Why is my Roblox ping so high?</em></p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-60">Far distance to the router</h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">If your device is too far away from the router, poorer Wi-Fi signal strength and higher ping are certain.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Please keep in mind that the further the distance to the access point (the router), the poorer the signal.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Moreover, on the long way from your router to your devices, the wireless signal can also get weak due to many interferences and physical obstacles.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Common  physical obstacles are:</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">      •    Cabinets or drawers</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">      •    Mirrors, Glasses</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">      •    Metal Objects</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">      •    Thick walls and ceilings</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">      •    Aquariums</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Common sources of interference are:</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">      •    Neighboring wireless networks</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">      •    Microwave ovens</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">      •    2.4 GHz cordless telephones</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">      •    Bluetooth® devices</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">      •    Wireless baby monitors</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>WiFi high ping</em></p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-80">Firewall configuration </h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Firewalls work as a safeguard protecting your system from malware and intruders. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">However, firewalls check almost every data packet that your device sends and receives. This procedure also takes a longer time for the data to get transmitted.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Even though the ping is measured in milliseconds, it still causes high ping somewhat. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Besides, firewalls that directly monitor web traffic, in particular, might cause increased delay because they regard the game as an intruder.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Actually, if you use the software firewall that is integrated into your operating system, a drop in internet performance will not likely be noticed.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">However, there are a few circumstances in which your firewall might cause a more significant decrease in performance.</p>

<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Both hardware and software firewalls are installed.</p>
	</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Your firewalls are configured to provide a high level of security.</p>
	</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">You have numerous software firewalls running at the same time.</p>
	</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><img alt="Does the firewall slow down the internet?" src="https://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/blog/how-to-improve-ping-7.png" style="display:block; height:384px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:640px"></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Does the firewall slow down the internet?</em></p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-98">Unnecessary programs running on the background</h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The reason for WiFi ping spikes can also result from this cause.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">When you are gaming online, for example, with too many applications and programs running in the background including Skype, Stream, Netflix, and YouTube, high latency can be expected. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The problem arises when you have numerous active apps, each of which consumes both internet bandwidth and CPU power.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">In actuality, even having Google Chrome open while gaming might cause a slight high WiFi ping.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>How to improve ping Overwatch?</em></p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-107">Other causes</h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Along with the above reasons, other factors might be also the causes for “why is my ping always so high”, including:</p>

<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Problems with your router</p>
	</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">In many cases, problems like outdated router, overheating router, router operating continually for a long time without restarting, … can affect the network performance and cause the latency to spike up.</p>

<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Low internet plan</p>
	</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">A lower internet plan may also be an answer for "why is my internet ping so high?”</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">If you have a low-cost internet plan with limited data, you may experience inconsistent speeds. </p>

<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Internet Service Provider (ISP) related issues</p>
	</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Sometimes, the quality of your ISP is the problem causing high ping. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Things like equipment (router and modem), stability of the connection, the communication between your router and the ISP’s network, … all affect ping.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">If your ping spikes up suddenly, there might be faults with your connection.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>How to reduce League of Legends ping?</em></p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-136">Improve your Internet connection speed</h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">To have a better internet speed, one of the simplest solutions to consider is to use a wired Ethernet connection instead of a wireless connection. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Wireless internet connectivity is flexible and mobility but has higher ping than Ethernet connection. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Conversely, a wired connection is more stable, enabling more consistent data to flow than wireless connections. As a result, it’ll help lower ping and reduce network lag.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Therefore, if you want to get as a low latency as possible, connecting to a Wired connection is a perfect choice.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>How to improve Minecraft ping?</em></p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-179">Find the best place for your router</h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Replacing your router is a good way to solve <a href="https://gospeedcheck.com/article/how-to-fix-ping-spikes-on-wifi-344" target="_blank"><strong>ping spikes on WiFi</strong></a>. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">For WiFi signals transmitted optimally, you should place your router in the middle of the house. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">This way, Wifi signal strength can cover larger areas, nearly most corners. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Furthermore,  installing a Wifi extender can extend the operating scale of the router with good internet speed. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">It’s worth noting that physical obstacles like walls, mental things, etc can impact internet signals while signals can be easier to penetrate softer materials like wood, glass, or papers.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Thus, consider placing the router on a wood table or desk for optimum reception. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">If you don’t want to change the position of your router, just need to move closer to this equipment so that you’ll get stronger WiFi signals.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><img alt="How to improve your ping" src="https://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/blog/how-to-improve-ping-15.png" style="display:block; height:519px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:640px"></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>How to improve your ping?</em></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Besides, you should also make sure that your router’s antennas are placed vertically.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Although they may be positioned at various angles, vertical positioning is the greatest choice for covering larger areas. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">This is due to the fact that the signal pattern is not a bubble but rather flat like a pancake. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">When the antenna is positioned at a 45-degree angle, the majority of the beam pattern is aimed at the ground and roof.</p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-197">Turn off firewall configuration</h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><strong>How to improve your ping on PC</strong>? Disabling firewall configurations such as  Norton, McAfee, and others is worth considering. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Disabling firewalls that directly monitor web traffic will reduce your ping.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">You may make your game a firewall exemption.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">You may then add your game as an exception in the firewall settings, allowing traffic to pass via the game's ports. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">This will prevent the firewall from recognizing the game as an intruder and allow your computer to send and receive data from the game.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">But remember that this switching off your Firewall might expose your system to risks, so always consider carefully before doing so.</p>
