What Causes High Ping? 10 Common Reasons and How to Fix Them

Common Causes of High Ping

High ping ruins online gaming and video calls. Here are the most common causes and solutions.

1. Distance to Server

The farther you are from the game server, the higher your ping. Data travels at the speed of light, but distance still matters.

2. ISP Routing Issues

Your Internet Service Provider might use inefficient routing paths, adding extra hops and latency.

3. Network Congestion

During peak hours (6 PM - 11 PM), many users online can congest networks and increase ping.

4. Wi-Fi Interference

Wireless connections add latency compared to wired Ethernet. Interference from other devices makes it worse.
