Internet Speed Test
Measure your download, upload, ping, and jitter in seconds — no extensions, no sign-up, no tracking.
Understanding Your Internet Speed
Your internet connection's performance is measured across four key metrics: download speed, upload speed, ping (latency), and jitter. Each plays a different role in how smoothly you browse, stream, game, and video call.
What Is Download Speed?
Download speed measures how quickly data travels from the internet to your device — measured in Megabits per second (Mbps). It directly affects how fast web pages load, how smoothly you stream video, and how quickly files download. Higher is always better for most daily tasks.
What Is Upload Speed?
Upload speed measures how fast your device sends data to the internet. This matters most when video calling, live streaming, sending large email attachments, or backing up files to the cloud. Home broadband connections typically have lower upload than download speeds.
What Is Ping / Latency?
Ping (or latency) is the time it takes a data packet to travel from your device to a server and back — measured in milliseconds (ms). Lower ping means a more responsive connection. It's critical for online gaming, video calls, and real-time collaboration tools. Below 20ms is excellent; above 100ms can feel laggy.
What Is Jitter?
Jitter measures the variation in ping over time. Even if your average latency is low, high jitter means your connection is inconsistent — packets arrive at irregular intervals, causing choppy audio/video in calls and stuttering in games. Below 10ms is ideal; above 30ms is noticeable in real-time applications.
