What Is an Internet Speed Test?

An internet speed test measures your current connection's download speed, upload speed, and latency (ping) — useful for confirming you're getting the speed your ISP promised, diagnosing a slow connection, or checking whether your connection can handle video calls or streaming reliably.

How Our Internet Speed Test Works
