Google Speed Test
Want to check your internet speed online? This Google Speed Test-style tool measures your actual internet connection directly from your browser.
The test measures download speed, upload speed, ping, jitter and packet loss so you can understand the quality of your current internet connection.
What Does This Speed Test Check?
- Download speed
- Upload speed
- Ping / latency
- Jitter
- Packet loss
- Connection quality
How to Check Internet Speed
- Connect your device to the internet.
- Close heavy downloads and streaming applications.
- Click the Start Speed Test button.
- Wait while the test measures your connection.
- Check your download, upload, ping, jitter and packet-loss results.
What Is a Good Internet Speed?
For normal web browsing, email and social media, a modest connection can be sufficient. HD and 4K streaming, online gaming and large downloads generally benefit from faster download speeds and lower latency.
Why Is My Internet Speed Slow?
Slow results can be caused by Wi-Fi signal strength, network congestion, router performance, background downloads, ISP congestion, device limitations or the server used for the speed test.
How to Get More Accurate Results
- Use a wired Ethernet connection when possible.
- Stop downloads and cloud synchronization during the test.
- Close unnecessary browser tabs and applications.
- Run the test several times.
- Compare results at different times of day.
