Question 1

How does this speed test work?

Accepted Answer

The test downloads and uploads small chunks of data from public CDN endpoints and measures the throughput. Latency is measured by timing HTTP round-trips. All measurements happen in your browser.

Question 2

Is this speed test accurate?

Accepted Answer

Browser-based speed tests provide a good estimate of real-world throughput. Results may vary slightly from ISP-provided tools due to browser overhead, CDN location, and concurrent network activity. For best results, close other tabs and stop downloads.

Question 3

What is a good internet speed?

Accepted Answer

For basic browsing and email, 5-10 Mbps download is sufficient. For streaming HD video, 25+ Mbps is recommended. For 4K streaming or gaming, 50+ Mbps is ideal. Upload speeds of 5+ Mbps are good for video calls.

Question 4

Does this tool upload any of my data?

Accepted Answer

No. The test only downloads and uploads random test data to measure throughput. No personal data, files, or browsing history are collected or stored.
