Time.ms can show your device clock offset in the browser. To make your computer itself keep accurate time, configure your operating system to use a reliable NTP server.
Servidor recomendado
Puedes usar time.cloudflare.com como servidor NTP público sencillo y fiable.
Open Date & time and keep Set time automatically enabled.
If available, set the internet time server to time.cloudflare.com.
Click Sync now, then revisit Clock Drift Test to verify the offset.
PowerShell check
w32tm /query /status
macOS
Open System Settings, then Date & Time.
Enable automatic date and time.
Use time.cloudflare.com if macOS allows a custom network time server.
Run the browser drift test again after sync succeeds.
Terminal check
systemsetup -getusingnetworktime
Linux Servers
Most modern distributions use systemd-timesyncd, chrony, or ntpd. Configure the active time service to use:
Server value
time.cloudflare.com
After changing the configuration, restart the time service and check its sync status with your distribution standard tooling.
systemd-timesyncd
timedatectl status
chrony
chronyc tracking
Routers and Network Devices
Many routers, NAS devices, firewalls, cameras, and appliances include an NTP server field. Set the server to time.cloudflare.com and keep automatic synchronization enabled.
Use NTP or SNTP mode if both manual time and network time are offered.
Keep timezone settings separate from the NTP server setting.
After saving, wait for the next sync interval before checking the offset again.
Verificar después
After your system syncs, open Clock Drift Test. A small offset and low network delay indicate your local clock is aligned well enough for most workflows.
Check offset
Run Clock Drift Test before and after changing settings so you can compare the result.
Check service state
Confirm the operating system reports network time as enabled and synchronized.
Wait for resync
Some systems sync on an interval, so the offset may improve a few minutes after setup.
Solución de problemas
Offset stays above one second
Check automatic time, service state, and whether UDP port 123 is blocked.
Timezone looks wrong but offset is small
NTP synchronizes absolute time. Change your operating system timezone separately.
Virtual machines keep drifting
Check both guest time service and host integration settings.
