Ping reducer

No program can shorten the distance to a game server. What it can do is remove the extra latency added at home: Wi-Fi power saving, background downloads, a router queue that fills up under load, slow DNS. Quartiy measures each of these and fixes what is on your PC.

## What it measures

### Server ping

Ping to game server regions for CS2, Valorant and League of Legends.

### Jitter and packet loss

The spikes and drops that feel like lag even when average ping looks fine.

### Bufferbloat

Ping under download load; high values mean the router queue needs SQM / QoS.

### Route

Where on the path latency is added.

## What it fixes

### Wi-Fi

Power saving and background scanning off; 5 GHz advice.

### Network card

Game-friendly adapter settings with rollback.

### Background downloads

Pre-game cleanup closes launchers and sync apps.

### DNS

A faster resolver where it actually helps.

## Honest about limits

Base ping set by distance and your ISP cannot be removed by software. Quartiy shows what part is fixable at home and fixes that part.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does a VPN lower ping?

Rarely; it usually adds a hop. It can help only when your ISP routes badly to a server.

### Is Ethernet better than Wi-Fi?

Almost always: lower and steadier ping, no packet loss from interference.

### Is the app in English?

The Quartiy desktop app is in Turkish today; an English interface is planned. Every action is one button with a clear before / after result, and support answers in English.
