Check your download speed, upload speed, ping, and jitter in seconds — plus your public IP, ISP, approximate location, and test server. Accurate, fast, and right in your browser.
A quick guide to the four numbers that describe your connection.
How fast data travels from the internet to your device. It affects streaming, browsing, and downloads. Higher is better.
Learn more →How fast you can send data out — important for video calls, cloud backups, and posting content. Higher is better.
Learn more →The round-trip time for a small request, in milliseconds. Lower ping means a more responsive connection, especially for gaming.
Learn more →The variation in your ping over time. Low, stable jitter keeps calls and live streams smooth and free of stutter.
Learn more →We connect you to the nearest test server.
Lightweight requests measure latency & jitter.
We stream data to gauge your download speed.
We send data back to measure upload speed.
For most households, 50–100 Mbps comfortably handles HD/4K streaming, video calls and several devices. Heavy 4K, large downloads or many users benefit from 200 Mbps or more.
SpeedPulse measures your real connection at test time using multiple parallel data transfers, with a warm-up period excluded for accuracy. Results vary with Wi-Fi, device and congestion, so run a few tests and average them.
Yes — it transfers real data to measure speed, typically a few dozen to a few hundred MB depending on your connection. The exact amount is shown after each test, and uploaded data is never stored.
Wi-Fi distance and interference, older routers, background downloads, peak-time congestion and the distance to the test server all reduce measured speed. Testing over Ethernet usually gives a higher, more stable result.
Download is how fast data reaches you; upload is how fast you send data out; ping is latency (responsiveness); and jitter is how stable that latency is. All four together describe your connection quality.
