Internet Speed Test
Measure your internet connection speed including download, upload, ping, and jitter. Quick and accurate browser-based test.
Internet Speed Test
Measure your download speed, upload speed, ping, and jitter. The test uses Cloudflare's speed test infrastructure.
How Does the Internet Speed Test Work?
- Ping is measured by sending small requests and recording the round-trip time.
- Download speed is tested by fetching files of increasing sizes and measuring throughput.
- Upload speed is tested by sending data to a speed test server.
- Jitter is calculated as the variation between consecutive ping measurements.
- Results are displayed in Mbps (megabits per second) for speed and ms (milliseconds) for latency.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why is my speed different from other speed tests?
- Browser-based speed tests have some overhead from the browser itself. Results can vary based on the test server location, network congestion, background activity, and browser limitations. For the most accurate results, use a wired connection, close other tabs, and test at different times.
- What is a good internet speed?
- For general browsing, 10-25 Mbps is sufficient. Video streaming requires 5-25 Mbps depending on quality. Online gaming needs 15-25 Mbps with low ping (under 50ms). Video calls need 3-10 Mbps. Remote work typically needs 25-50 Mbps for reliability.
- What is jitter?
- Jitter measures the variation in ping times. High jitter (above 30ms) can cause issues with real-time applications like video calls and online gaming, even if average ping is low. It indicates inconsistent network performance.
- Does this test use my data?
- Yes, the test downloads and uploads data to measure speeds. A typical test uses approximately 30-40 MB of data. Be mindful if you have a limited data plan.
