Free Internet Speed Test
Test your internet connection speed with our comprehensive speed test tool. Get accurate measurements of download speed, upload speed, ping latency, and network performance instantly.
What Our Speed Test Measures
Download Speed
Measures how fast data travels from the internet to your device. Essential for streaming, browsing, and downloading.
- • Streaming video quality
- • Web page loading
- • File downloads
- • Software updates
Upload Speed
Measures how fast data travels from your device to the internet. Important for video calls, file sharing, and backups.
- • Video conferencing
- • File uploads
- • Cloud backups
- • Live streaming
Ping Latency
Measures the time it takes for data to travel to a server and back. Lower ping means more responsive internet.
- • Online gaming
- • Video calls
- • Real-time apps
- • Web responsiveness

How Our Internet Speed Test Works
This in‑browser speed test measures download speed, upload speed, and ping latency using privacy‑friendly external endpoints. Results can vary based on your device, network congestion, and Wi‑Fi conditions. For best accuracy, use a wired (Ethernet) connection and close background apps.
What We Measure
- Download (Mbps): Speed of data coming to your device (streaming, browsing, updates).
- Upload (Mbps): Speed of data leaving your device (video calls, backups, file sharing).
- Ping (ms): Latency to remote services; lower values feel snappier in games and calls.
- Jitter: Variation in latency; lower jitter improves real‑time stability.
Common Factors Affecting Speed
- Wi‑Fi signal quality, interference, and router placement.
- Peak‑time congestion on your ISP’s network.
- Device limits (older Wi‑Fi standards, CPU load, VPNs, firewalls).
- Background downloads, cloud sync, streaming on other devices.
Speed Test Tips
- Use Ethernet or stand near your router for stable Wi‑Fi.
- Pause large downloads, cloud backup, and streaming apps.
- Restart your router/modem if speeds seem unusually low.
- Run multiple tests at different times to average results.
Interpreting Your Results
Streaming
HD: 5–10 Mbps per stream; 4K: 25+ Mbps per stream; prefer low ping for live TV.
Video Calls
Upload matters. Aim for 3–5 Mbps up and ping under 50 ms for smooth calls.
Gaming
Low latency (<30 ms) and low jitter are more important than high download speed.
