Measure your download speed, upload speed, ping, jitter, and packet loss - Accurately, in seconds.
An internet speed test measures how fast data travels between your device and the internet. Press GO to check your download and upload speed in Mbps, plus ping, jitter, and packet loss in about 30 seconds - no app or account needed. For most homes, 100 Mbps or more is a good download speed and a ping under 50 ms is good for gaming and calls.
Different internet problems need different measurements. These are the most useful starting points.
High-value guides for the most common speed, Wi-Fi, and ISP decisions.
A complete picture of your connection quality - Not just one number.
How fast your connection receives data. Affects streaming quality, page load times, and video call clarity.
Broadband speed test →How fast your connection sends data. Critical for video calls, cloud backups, and live streaming.
What is a good upload? →Round-trip response time to the test server. Lower is better - Directly determines gaming and call responsiveness.
Ping test →Variation in ping between measurements. High jitter causes choppy audio and video even when average speed is high.
What is jitter? →Percentage of data packets that fail to reach their destination. Even 0.5% degrades VoIP and online gaming severely.
Packet loss test →Ping measured while the connection is under full load - Simulates how your network behaves in real-world conditions.
Loaded latency test →Use rankings and ISP pages to understand whether your result is normal for your country, provider, and connection type.

Background apps silently steal bandwidth during speed tests. Here's how to close them and get results that reflect your real internet speed.
Your Ethernet cable might be capping your speeds. Learn how to check your cable type and pick the right one for your plan.
One speed test isn't enough. Learn the right way to run multiple tests and calculate your true internet speed with statistical confidence.
Use these pages after your test to interpret the result and decide what to fix first.
We use multi-threaded download and upload tests to saturate your connection, giving a realistic measurement of your bandwidth. Results may vary based on server load, your device, and Wi-Fi interference. For best accuracy, use a wired Ethernet connection and close other applications. See accuracy tips →
Yes. A standard test transfers approximately 40–200 MB depending on your connection speed. If you're on a metered connection, be aware of this before running multiple tests.
Many factors affect measured speed: Wi-Fi signal quality, router firmware, ISP congestion, your device's hardware, and VPN usage. Read our guide on slow internet →

For most households, 100 Mbps download or more is good and comfortably handles HD streaming, video calls, and working from home. Over 500 Mbps is excellent for 4K streaming, large households, and gaming. Under 25 Mbps is limited and may struggle with video calls. For upload, 10 Mbps or more is good for video calls and cloud backups. A ping under 50 ms is good for gaming and video conferencing. What is a good download speed? →
Yes. Wi-Fi is often the biggest bottleneck. Distance from the router, walls, interference from other networks, and older routers all reduce measured speed. For the most accurate result, test over a wired Ethernet connection, or stand close to the router on the 5 GHz band. How to improve Wi-Fi speed →
