PRE-GAME CONNECTION CHECK

Valorant Internet Test

Lagging in Valorant? Check your connection’s latency, jitter and download speed before your next session. Then compare the result with what happens in the game.

Test my connection for Valorant ↗

The button selects Valorant. Choose Quick or Full and start when ready. Measurements use Cloudflare, not Valorant servers.

Valorant connection checklist

Follow Riot’s PC connection checklist if the game cannot connect. Compare a wired connection and check application firewall permissions before changing router settings.

Publisher guidance for Valorant ↗

Record the error before changing settings

  1. Is there a connection error before playing, or lag during a match? Save the exact message.
  2. If a match loads, compare its available network statistics with a browser check taken on the same connection.
  3. Repeat over Ethernet if practical, noting whether the error or just responsiveness changes. Use Riot support for errors that persist.

What should I look at?

  • Latency: response time to the test endpoint. Compare it with the game’s own ping when available; the destinations differ.
  • Jitter: changing response times can help explain an inconsistent connection.
  • Under-load latency: a rise during transfers suggests downloads or uploads could affect responsiveness.
  • Packet loss: Full attempts this measurement. Unavailable does not mean zero.

Is my internet fast enough for Valorant?

A download-speed number alone cannot answer that. Check consistency and compare repeated tests while background transfers are paused. Publisher requirements, your region and the route to the game also matter. Ping2GG’s rating is a general idle-responsiveness indicator, not a publisher pass/fail requirement.

If only Valorant is having trouble

Check official service status, note the exact error and compare another session. Use the publisher checklist above for your platform. This browser test does not detect NAT type or prove that a game port is open.
