Check Is Internet Connectivity Active Using Javascript & Jquery

Question

I want to create a script using javascript or query to check is internet connection still active on every 1 second ?

So was wrote some codes using PING.JS but I have a problem. My script sends 1 PING request on every 1 second and the server will response within 1 second, but My problem is I want to code if for any reason server's reply will not receive within 60 seconds then it will show me an alert. Also, I want to store data on variable how many PING request was received server's reply successfully? I am providing my script link. Please check and tell me where I was wrong.

As an alternative, there's an experimental browser API called the "Network Information API".

You can use it like this:

var connection = navigator.connection || navigator.mozConnection || navigator.webkitConnection;
var type = connection.effectiveType;

function updateConnectionStatus() {
  console.log("Connection type changed from " + type + " to " + connection.effectiveType);
  type = connection.effectiveType;
}

connection.addEventListener('change', updateConnectionStatus);

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Network_Information_API

It's got reasonably good support on mobile browsers, but not so on desktop browsers. This will show you the currently supported browsers: https://caniuse.com/#feat=netinfo

Nice solution, and much better than DDOSing your server with requests every second – Rory McCrossan Dec 05 '19 at 10:43
@JashminBezos don't. It's a really bad idea. Why do you feel that you need to do that? – Rory McCrossan Dec 05 '19 at 10:43
@RoryMcCrossan Due to some Ads serving requirements I want to check it on every 1 second. – Jashmin Bezos Dec 05 '19 at 10:44
Ah, so you're trying to rinse ad revenue. Good luck. – Rory McCrossan Dec 05 '19 at 10:45
@RoryMcCrossan I don't using Adsence Ads. I want to use my own Ads network. So I really want to check it on every 1 second . **Please give me solution.** – Jashmin Bezos Dec 05 '19 at 10:48
@JashminBezos are you looking to see if your AD server is online in general or just accessible by the user's browser at the time? – Alex KeySmith Dec 05 '19 at 16:35
