About the Weekly Competition
Every week, verified Speedtest.now users compete for the top spot across three categories: download speed, upload speed, and lowest ping. The competition resets every Monday at midnight UTC. Only your single best eligible test per category counts — so there's always a reason to run another test. Past weekly winners are immortalised in the Hall of Champions.
How the Scoring Works
Best Single Test
Your leaderboard score is your highest (or lowest, for ping) eligible result from the current week — not an average. Only your personal best counts. See accuracy tips.
Verified Tests Only
Results must pass automated validation checks. Statistically improbable tests are excluded. Read our test methodology.
Verified Accounts Required
Email verification is mandatory before any test enters the pool. Create a free account to compete.
Weekly Reset
Leaderboards clear every Monday at 00:00 UTC. The #1 result at Sunday close earns a spot in the Hall of Champions.
