It is always better for debugging purposes to be able to distinguish if the problem is with the client's connection (if google/baidu/yandex all are not reachable) or with the vendor server (if those former are reachable but the vendor server isn't).

Then ping your own server, and if there’s a failure then fallback to pining another public service with known high availability to determine if it’s an Internet issue. Pinging Yandex by default every 5 minutes is not necessary
