What This Test Measures
Download Speed
How fast your connection receives data. Affects streaming, browsing, and file downloads. Most home plans have more download than upload bandwidth.
Upload Speed
How fast your connection sends data. Critical for video calls, cloud backups, and sharing files. Typically lower than download on home connections.
Ping (Latency)
Round-trip time to the test server in milliseconds. Under 20ms is excellent. Above 100ms causes noticeable lag in calls and games. Lower is always better.
Accuracy Tips
Run the test while on Ethernet for best accuracy. Close other tabs. Test 2-3 times and average the results. Results vary throughout the day.
