BongoShark Server Latency
This dial shows the time it takes for the BongoShark servers to process an action.
We try to keep it below 1/10th of a second at all times.
Our servers accept actions from around the world and queue them for up to 100ms
to prevent double-acting or out-of-order acting.
The actual time it takes our servers to process & commit actions is usually much lower,
around ~30ms.
Network Latency
This dial shows how long it takes to send an action from your computer to the BongoShark servers.
It's primarily affected by the physical distance between you and the BongoShark
servers and the quality of your internet connection. The BongoShark developers
cannot fix your wifi or make light go faster, though we'll certainly try to do everything in our
power to help you have a good time on BongoShark!
Browser Speed
This dial shows how fast your browser can render game animations.
Make sure you're using a modern, up-to-date browser like:
Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Opera. More powerful computers will get higher results,
but most people should be able to run animations at over 30 frames per second.
If you get low numbers, try closing
other tabs and programs.
Please wait 10s for the speedtest to run...
Troubleshooting Steps
If you're not located in the Americas, you can generally expect latency to be 200ms-800ms.
Don't worry if you have a slow connection, the game will still progress normally,
we give up to a second of leniency to account for high latency.
If the numbers above seem high, first try refreshing, then follow the steps below.
1. Check your internet connection speed using
Speedtest.net
2. Try rebooting your computer
3. Try resetting your router or modem
