How to use this test
- Disconnect heavy downloads on your local network.
- Click 'Start Speed Test'.
- Test measures ping latency and jitter first.
- Download phase streams test data chunks to measure throughput.
- Upload phase transfers test buffers to measure upload rate.
- Review your final Download Mbps, Upload Mbps, and Latency.
How to understand your result
Looks good: Throughput achieved expected bandwidth tier for your connection.
Check this: Measured speed is significantly lower than ISP advertised plan.
Troubleshooting: what to try next
- Move closer to Wi-Fi router or connect via Ethernet cable.
- Restart broadband modem and router.
- Verify no background cloud backups are saturating bandwidth.
What this test cannot tell you
Measures throughput between browser and test server endpoint; does not guarantee minimum ISP transit speeds.
Frequently Asked Questions
