Ping refers to the response time of a server to requests from a remote computer. The lower the ping, the less the signal transit time and the server response time. Ping is measured in milliseconds. The ping value is relevant for online games that require as little ping as possible to play comfortably. There are several ways to lower the ping.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to reduce ping is to monitor running programs, processes and services that may be using your Internet connection. Every time you need the lowest ping, check if p2p clients, torrent clients, download managers, online radio receivers, etc. are enabled. It is also recommended to disable firewalls, antiviruses and other programs that use network resources. All of these measures should reduce ping and ensure the most comfortable online multiplayer games.
Step 2
Check the load on your system. To do this, use the standard Windows Task Manager, which is launched by the Ctrl + Alt + Del keyboard shortcut. In the Task Manager, open the Processes tab and carefully examine the list of running processes. Stop all suspicious processes, paying special attention to those using more than 10% of the CPU resources. Processes that cannot be stopped can be made lower priority for the system. To do this, right-click on the line and select a lower priority (for example, small instead of medium, etc.).
Step 3
Use programs to optimize your operating system. These kinds of programs will help you to significantly reduce the ping, and all this will be done automatically. With the help of optimizing programs, you can also edit the contents of the "Startup" folder, which may contain programs that negatively affect the network resource.
