How to Get Lower Ping in Roblox – Fix Lag & Boost Internet Speed With BTRoblox Server Picker shows you how to turn Roblox from a laggy, delayed mess into a smooth low‑ms experience by installing the BTRoblox Chrome extension, enabling its server region and ping display, and using it to sort and join nearby servers with the lowest latency, then stacking that with simple network optimizations like switching to Ethernet, closing background downloads and streams, and applying Roblox’s own lag‑reduction tips, so your shots register instantly, and every game feels more responsive.

How to Get Lower Ping in Roblox
Why ping matters in Roblox
Ping measures how long it takes data to travel between your PC and the Roblox game server, so high ping means delayed hits, rubber‑banding, and input lag. Roblox often drops you into servers anywhere in the world, so just being on a far‑away server can push ping from ~40 ms to 200+ ms even on a good connection, which is why choosing a nearby server is such a big win.
Install and configure BTRoblox
On PC, open Chrome or another Chromium‑based browser and install BTRoblox – Making Roblox Better from the Chrome Web Store, a popular extension that enhances the Roblox website with extra features. Once installed, go to roblox.com, click the BTRoblox / BT settings button in the top‑right, scroll down to the Advanced section, and enable the option that shows server region and ping (often labeled “Game details → Show server region / ping / both”). After saving, refresh Roblox so the extension can inject the extra data into server lists.
Find and join the lowest‑ping server
Open the page of the Roblox experience you want to play (for example, Arsenal), scroll down to the Servers section, and you should now see each server’s region (e.g., Ashburn, Virginia or Frankfurt, Germany) and an estimated ping in milliseconds. Use the server list controls to exclude full servers and sort by ascending ping so the servers with the lowest numbers are at the top; then pick a server in your region (or the nearest region) with the smallest ping value—often 30–60 ms for nearby locations—instead of just clicking “Join” on a random lobby. When you load in, press Shift+F5 or enable performance stats in Roblox to confirm your in‑game ping roughly matches what the extension showed.
Testing high‑ping servers and understanding limits
You can also deliberately join distant regions (like EU when you live in the US) to see how high ping feels in practice: the extension might show 200–400 ms, and in game you’ll notice shots registering late and movement feeling sluggish. Just remember that browser extensions estimate ping from outside the Roblox client, so their numbers are approximate; always trust your in‑game performance stats more than the extension if they disagree slightly.
Extra ways to reduce Roblox lag
Picking a closer server is only part of the fix: for the lowest possible ping you should also switch from Wi‑Fi to Ethernet, which alone can shave 10–50 ms off, and close bandwidth‑heavy apps (downloads, streams, other games) on your network. Restarting your router, keeping your PC and network drivers updated, and avoiding VPNs or proxies (unless you know they’re improving your route) further help stabilize ping, after which using BTRoblox’s region and ping display lets you consistently join the best servers for every Roblox game you play.
