SpeedCheck Pro | Network Performance Testing

Download Speed

Measure how quickly your connection can retrieve data from the internet, affecting streaming quality, download times, and overall browsing experience.

Upload Speed

Test how fast your connection can send data to the internet, critical for video calls, online gaming, and sharing large files.

Ping & Latency

Check the responsiveness of your connection, measured in milliseconds, which impacts online gaming, video conferencing, and real-time applications.

Understanding Your Results

Our speed test provides three key metrics:

Download Speed: Measured in Mbps (Megabits per second), this indicates how quickly you can receive data. Higher is better.
Upload Speed: Also measured in Mbps, this shows how quickly you can send data. Important for video calls and file sharing.
Ping/Latency: Measured in ms (milliseconds), this is the time it takes for data to travel to a server and back. Lower is better.

What Speeds Do You Need?

Different activities require different speeds:

Web browsing: 1-5 Mbps
SD video streaming: 3-4 Mbps
HD video streaming: 5-8 Mbps
4K video streaming: 25+ Mbps
Online gaming: 3-6 Mbps with low ping
Video conferencing: 1.5-4 Mbps upload/download
Large file downloads: 50+ Mbps for efficiency

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this speed test?

Our speed test provides highly accurate results by measuring your connection to optimized servers. However, keep in mind that various factors can affect your results, including network congestion, other devices using your connection, Wi-Fi signal strength, and your home network setup.

Why is my speed lower than what my ISP promises?

ISPs typically advertise speeds as "up to" a certain amount. Actual speeds can be affected by various factors, including:

Network congestion during peak hours
The quality and length of cabling to your home
Wi-Fi interference from other devices
Your router's capabilities and settings
Distance from your ISP's infrastructure

If you consistently see speeds well below what you're paying for, contact your ISP.

How can I improve my internet speed?

Here are some tips to optimize your connection:

Position your router in a central location
Reduce interference by keeping router away from other electronic devices
Use a wired ethernet connection when possible
Update your router's firmware
Use quality cables and equipment
Consider a mesh Wi-Fi system for larger homes
Close unused applications and limit the number of connected devices
Contact your ISP about upgrading your plan if necessary

Why should I regularly test my internet speed?

Regular testing helps you:

Verify you're getting the speeds you pay for
Identify patterns in performance issues
Troubleshoot connection problems
Document issues when contacting your ISP
Determine if your internet plan meets your needs
