| How long does it take a HTTP to reply from a server to a browser? I need to know that, but I cannot find out how and where to find that information. I have a test next week about this stuff. HTTP is great, but where I can find out more about it? That reply time is somewhat hard to understand, so I need help. Is anybody willing to tell me more about it? |

| HTTP is a standard internet protocol, and it is very efficient. That is it is used by all servers and internet providers. The reply time from server to a browser is easiest to test with a ping. With that, you send small amount of packet data, and it is timed to see how long it will take to return to your computer. The shorter time it takes the better connection you have. HTTP reply can take several milliseconds, or more, but there is no limit. I have good connection, and the reply is coming to my browser quite fast. |

| You did not tell him how he can test HTTP reply. HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol, and with that communication between servers and client, or browsers is taking milliseconds. The easiest way to test hot long does it takes is to open command prompt, and type the following words: ping nameofsite. That nameofsite you must replace with any site that is visible on the internet. When you ping the server, it will send four data packets, and you will see how long does it take to reply to go to the server and back to you. |
