Internet Speed Test
NewTest your internet connection speed — download, upload, ping and jitter. Free, no app to install.
Results are an estimate of your connection to our test server and can vary with distance, Wi-Fi and network conditions. Nothing about your test is stored.
How to test your internet speed
Press Start and the test runs three checks in a few seconds: ping and jitter (latency), then download speed, then upload speed. Your browser transfers incompressible random data to and from our nearest cloud server over several parallel connections and measures the throughput. For the most accurate read of your true line speed, close other apps and downloads, connect over an Ethernet cable if you can, and run the test two or three times.
What download, upload, ping and jitter mean
Download speed (Mbps) is how quickly you pull data in — it governs streaming, browsing and downloads. Upload speed is how quickly you push data out — it matters for video calls, cloud backups and sending large files. Ping (ms) is the round-trip delay before data starts moving, and jitter is how much that delay fluctuates. Fast, stable connections have high download and upload numbers with low ping and jitter; gaming and video calls are especially sensitive to high ping and jitter.
Why your speed may be slower than your plan
Real-world speed is almost always lower than the headline figure from your provider. Wi-Fi signal strength and distance from the router, other devices sharing the connection, an older router, peak-hour congestion in your area and the limits of the device you're testing on all reduce throughput. If a wired test is close to your plan but Wi-Fi is much slower, the bottleneck is your home network rather than your internet line.
A private speed test with nothing stored
This speed test runs in your browser and only moves throwaway random data — never your personal files. The temporary data used for the upload measurement is deleted from storage immediately after the test finishes, and no results are saved or linked to you. It's a free, no-signup way to check your connection whenever streaming buffers, calls drop or pages load slowly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the internet speed test free?
Yes, completely free. There's no app to install and no sign-up — just open the page and press Start.
What do download, upload, ping and jitter mean?
Download is how fast you receive data (streaming, browsing), upload is how fast you send it (video calls, backups), ping is the delay before data starts moving, and jitter is how much that delay varies — lower ping and jitter mean a more responsive connection.
Why is my speed lower than the plan I pay for?
Wi-Fi distance, other devices on your network, your router, peak-hour congestion and the device's own limits all reduce real-world speed. For your true line speed, test on a wired connection with nothing else running.
How is the test measured?
Your browser transfers incompressible random data to and from our nearest cloud server over several parallel connections for a few seconds, then calculates throughput. It's a close estimate, not a lab-grade measurement.
Does the speed test store my data or files?
No. The test only moves throwaway random data, and the temporary upload data is deleted immediately after the test. Nothing about your connection is stored.
