Field notes
The page defines three verdict bands using ping, jitter, download and upload thresholds; for example, its “lag is plausible” band begins at 50 ms ping or 15 ms jitter. Its game-region feature uses a browser round trip to a regional entry point because, as the page explains, game servers do not answer web pings. The location display is described as an approximate provider location, not GPS.
