Why test internet speed?
An internet speed test tells you whether you receive the speed you pay for, and whether your connection supports what you actually do, such as 4K streaming, video calls, gaming and cloud work.

Your Internet Fitness Score
Run a test to turn download, upload, ping, jitter and packet loss into one number you can act on.
Understand your connection
What your speed test results really mean
Short, practical explanations of every metric behind your Internet Fitness Score.
How often should I test?
Monthly for a healthy baseline, plus any time performance drops. Testing at peak evening hours exposes congestion daytime tests never reveal.
Understanding ping and latency
Ping is the round-trip time of a data packet in milliseconds. Under 30 ms feels instant; above 100 ms adds noticeable lag to video calls and competitive games.
Download vs upload speed
Download speed governs what you receive, such as streaming and browsing. Upload speed governs what you send, such as video calls, backups and large file transfers.
What affects internet speed?
Router age, WiFi interference, distance from the router, device limits, VPNs, background downloads and network congestion all reduce real-world throughput.
How to improve slow internet
Compare wired against wireless, restart the router, switch to the 5 GHz band, update firmware and re-test at different times before contacting your provider.
