Globalping's review of 2025 and plans for 2026

As 2025 wraps up, it's the perfect moment to look back at everything Globalping achieved this year. We saw steady growth, new features across the platform, and continued support from our amazing community.

In this post, we'll revisit the key moments of 2025 and share a first glimpse of what's coming in 2026.

2025 in review: another great year

Globalping continued to grow and improve throughout 2025. We added new integrations, improved the dashboard and API, and upgraded our infrastructure. Here are some of the highlights.

The year in numbers

Like last year, let's start with a few stats.

Globalping's 2025 in numbers.
  • 2 million+ tests per day at peak (~600k more than last year)
  • 600k+ measurements per day
  • 3100+ registered dashboard users
  • 90+ MCP sessions per day
  • ~3091 connected probes (~1711 probes more than last year)
  • ~240 GitHub issues closed (~100 more than last year)

Thousands of people used Globalping this year, primarily through our website, API, or CLI. We were also excited to see how much our n8n node was used this year, highlighting how the community discovers and adopts tools on its own.

Biggest milestones and feature launches

This year was packed with improvements across the platform – all thanks to the work of our team and the community.

API & platform improvements

We made several updates to the Globalping API and the infrastructure behind it:

  • Ping over TCP or ICMP: Helps you get past ICMP blocks and test the reachability of specific services like databases or mail servers.
  • More diverse probe ASNs: Gives you more accurate and representative network data by reducing bias from big providers.
  • Better network pages: Makes it easier to explore provider-specific performance data directly on our website.
  • 120 TB of DB storage: Keeps measurements available for longer (months), which is especially useful for long-running discussions in forums and ongoing troubleshooting.

Dashboard improvements

We kept improving the dashboard throughout the year by fine-tuning the UX, polishing existing features, and adding new ones:

  • Improved probe adoption flow: The adoption process requires no manual steps, making mass adoption of probes easy.
  • Public probes: Lets you make your probes public so others can use them via a tag. Each user can also have a public profile page showing all their probes.
  • Connect GitHub organizations: Lets you connect a GitHub organization to use the name for automatic probe tagging and public branded pages. We've also extended this feature to private organization members.

New integrations

2025 brought loads of new ways to use Globalping, from both the community and the team:

  • Upptime integration: Choose the origin of your Upptime checks, whether it's a geographical location, ASN, ISP, or cloud region.
  • Native n8n integration: Our community node is now an official native one.
  • Uptimeflare: Community-built integration to allow UptimeFlare checks via Globalping's probe network.
  • Discord app: Brings Globalping directly into your Discord server.
  • MCP server: Lets you run measurements through your AI assistant using natural language.
  • VS Code extension: Run global network tests without leaving your editor.

Integration improvements

We also upgraded our existing tools, including:

2026 outlook: exciting things ahead

We're already getting ready for a big 2026. Here's a preview of what to expect:

  • Public performance data for CDN, DNS, and edge compute providers: Explore regional rankings, uptime, and performance to compare services and find the fastest provider for your needs.
  • Scheduled measurements: track endpoints over time, graph results, and analyze performance.
  • Better probe coverage: more probes from popular cloud providers like Azure and Oracle Cloud.
  • A new hardware probe: comes with a faster CPU, more RAM, a 1 Gbit port, and reliable eMMC storage. The dashboard will also get an even easier and automated flow for adopting probes into your Globalping Dashboard account.
  • Ongoing R&D into bandwidth testing: make it easier for home users to understand and verify their ISP performance.
  • Grafana integration and more: if you have ideas or feature requests, open an issue on GitHub and tell us!
  • Growing the community and probe network: through partnerships and content. The more people and probes join the network, the more reliable and useful the data becomes for everyone!

Thank you all, and cheers 🥂

None of this would be possible without our incredible community. Whether you're a partner, hosting a probe, building integrations, reporting issues, or simply running daily measurements, your support is invaluable and highly appreciated!

As we head into 2026, we're excited to bring these plans to life and continue building a transparent, accessible, and truly global network measurement platform. If you have ideas or suggestions, join us on GitHub and let us know!
