The speed test is The best way checking the speed and quality of your internet connection. Have you noticed that your files are loading at a slower speed? Do you feel that the sites you visit are loading too slowly? Check your Internet connection settings. With our tester you can now measure:

• latency testing (ping, latency) – the average time of sending data packets to different servers at the same time is checked. Most testers only measure the time to send small data packets (less than 500 bytes), but in fact, browsers and web applications usually transfer and download large data packets, so our tester also checks the time to send large data packets (about 2-5 kilobytes). Result: the lower the ping, the better, i.e. makes it easier to use the Internet. This parameter is especially important in online games.
• download testing - testing the download speed, which is measured as the total amount of downloaded data for a certain period of time (about 10 seconds) and expressed in units of Mbps Testing is carried out for different places at the same time, since using only one server is not reflects the actual bandwidth connections. the site tries to show measurements that are speed measurements outside of border routers. Download speed is an important parameter that determines the quality when watching movies on the Internet and the speed of downloading files.
• Sending testing (upload) - the speed of sending data is checked, as well as in the case of upload testing, the parameter is important, for example, when sending data to the server and mail messages with especially large investments such as photographs.

A standard Internet connection speed test takes about 1 minute and is carried out in the following order:

Server selection

The service automatically determines the server closest to you, with which it will interact in order to make speed test the Internet. If you wish, in most services you can choose the appropriate server yourself. The closer it is to you, the more accurate the measurement of the quality of network access will be.

Ping

The service determines the network response time from the moment a request is sent from your computer or smartphone to the server until the download starts. This delay is measured in milliseconds (ms). The lower this number, the better. A good ping is considered to be up to 120 ms, excellent - up to 45 ms. This parameter is especially important for online games like CS, World of Tanks or Heroes of the storm, where extra milliseconds of delay can deprive you of victory.

Incoming speed (download speed)

In the background, empty data packets with a total volume of 10 to 100 MB are downloaded from the server closest to you. Based on their download time, a conclusion is made about the reception speed. Speed ​​is measured in megabits per second, or Mbps (mbps). Do not confuse with megabytes, this unit is 8 times larger: 1 megabit = 0.125 megabytes. The higher the speed, the better: browser pages, videos, music, pictures will load faster.

Upload speed

The final stage of checking the speed of the Internet connection, during which empty data packets are transmitted in the opposite direction: now the traffic goes from you to the server. The units of measurement for the outgoing speed are the same as for the incoming speed: megabits per second (mbps). The higher the actual upload speed, the faster you can upload information and upload files to the Internet.
