Internet Speed Test — With an Honest Diagnosis

How’s your connection doing?

Analyse your Internet connection in seconds and find out what might be slowing your network down — with, for every figure, what it lets you do.

One question before we start

How are you connected? No browser can detect this reliably, and half the advice depends on it.

About 15 seconds. The test downloads and uploads real data — expect around ten megabytes off your plan.

Worth knowing before reading the results

  • La perte de paquets n’est pas mesurable depuis un navigateur.
  • Le type de connexion est celui que vous indiquez, aucun navigateur ne le détecte.
  • Le serveur de test est sur un autre continent : sa ville réelle est affichée avec le résultat, et la distance compte dans le temps de réponse.

How to test your connection in 3 steps

  1. Launch the test

    A few seconds of real measurements. The test data is random bytes, so compression cannot inflate your speed — the number you see is the line, not a trick.

  2. Read the diagnosis

    Every value carries its source, and the probable causes are ranked from most to least likely — always as probabilities, because no test can name a culprit with certainty.

  3. Compare and act

    Follow the suggested actions, retest right next to the router to see whether the Wi-Fi is at fault, and watch your history over time — it stays on your device.

Why use this speed test

Frequently asked questions

Why is there no packet loss figure?

Because a browser cannot measure it: the underlying protocol retransmits lost packets before the page ever sees them. Showing "0%" would be an invented number — this test shows interruptions of the flow instead, which are measurable.

Why does the test ask whether I am on Wi-Fi or mobile data?

Because browsers almost never expose the real link type, and guessing gets it wrong. Declaring it lets the diagnosis keep only the advice that applies to you — no "move closer to the router" when you are on mobile data.

My latency is high but everything works — is my line bad?

Not necessarily. The distance to the test server accounts for a large share of latency. A high but steady response time usually points to distance, not to a faulty line — the diagnosis takes that regularity into account.

What is latency under load?

The response time measured while a download is running. It is what makes video calls stutter as soon as someone else on the connection downloads — and a classic speed test does not show it.

Are the results comparable with other speed tests?

Only roughly: server location and load differ from one tool to another. The most useful comparison is with your own previous runs, kept in your local history.

What data is stored or sent?

The history stays on your device. Your IP address is not displayed or logged, and the test traffic is random bytes with no personal content.

Is it free?

Yes — no account, no signup, and no limit on how often you rerun it.
