How to lower ping in Roblox?
If you haven’t already,start with a speed test. If your connection has high ping and is slow, contact your ISP and consider using Ethernet instead of WiFi.
But if Roblox ping is high but your internet connection is good, try the following:
1. Update everything Roblox-related (game files and operating system)
Running outdated software on your PC can mean various technical issues, including but not limited to high ping. Consider updating:
2. Check your security software
If you have severalsecurity programsinstalled on your PC, we recommend you check if Roblox has full permission on all of them. Most of the time, the Windows Firewall blocks various programs or limits their online interaction.
That also applies toantivirusandantimalware softwarethat might not necessarily prevent you from accessing some online services but can apply limitations based on their judgment.
💡 Also, if your antivirus consumes a lot of resources while scanning, avoid playing Roblox and running a full virus scan at the same time.
3. Use a VPN service
If the ping is caused by: ISP throttling or overloaded game servers in certain regions, aVPN can help:
ExpressVPN
4. Lower your graphics settings
6. Update your graphics and network drivers
Graphic and Network Cards drivers have an important role in maintaining a good Ping and avoiding lags. Once updated, your gaming experience will highly improve.

6. Flush your DNS
ipconfig /flushdnsipconfig /registerdnsipconfig /releaseipconfig /renewnetsh winsock reset
Sometimes,cached data build-upscan interfere with your connection’s performance, and flushing your DNS is an easy way to get rid of them. Make sure you also restart your PC after successfully executing the last command.
Additionally, you can switch from your ISP-assigned DNS to free public DNS servers. We’ve tested Google Public DNS and Cloudflare’s DNS servers and we were impressed,performance-wise.
7. Terminate bandwidth-heavy apps and services
If you have other apps that may use a lot of bandwidth running on your PC, it’s a wise thing to force-close them before running Roblox if you want lower ping.
For instance, torrenting clients can easily sponge up large chunks of your bandwidth without you even noticing it.
8. Try a dedicated game booster software
Every gamer should be interested in game-boosting modes to play smoother games. So if you enjoy smoother games, consider specialized tools to boost your gameplay immediately.
More precisely, you will enhance your game by increasing your internet connection or FPS score, and all that by choosing thebest game booster software for Windows 10.
Note that currently, Roblox isn’t on the official list of supported games. However, the program enables you to load other games, as well, by using a custom path to the executable.
