Is it your WiFi, or theirs?

Your connection, visualized

You're on a video call and the other person freezes. Is it your internet or theirs? With OverPing running, you just glance at the bars. Green and short means your connection is fine — it's on their end. Long yellow or red bars? Time to move closer to the router.

OverPing sits in a small window on your desktop, quietly pinging the internet once per second. Each bar shows how long that ping took — short green bars mean a fast, healthy connection. The wider the bar, the slower your internet is right now.

Reading the bars

Green, shortFast — you're good
Yellow, widerNoticeable lag
