Best way to measure DNS ping?

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting here on the NextDNS fourm and I have a question I would love to ask you guys. What's the best way / correct way to test NextDNS ping? When I usually test it I would go to command prompt and then type ping then of course the dns server ip and I would usually get right around 30ms and is that considered good compared to when I test out Adguard DNS which is around 10-13ms? Mainly does that really make a different in that much ping? I would appreciate any responds to my question.

    Anything below 50ms will make no difference. What is the output of https://ping.nextdns.io?

      Olivier Poitrey  This is what I got. By the way I currently have Adguard as my dns resolver when I ran this test. Do tell if I need to connect to nextdns and not Adguards.
