What is a Speed Test?

A speed test measures your internet connection’s performance. It evaluates:

• Download Speed: How fast data is transferred to your device. Higher download speeds mean quicker file downloads, smoother video streaming, and faster website loading.
• Upload Speed: How fast you can send data from your device. Essential for video calls, uploading files, and sharing large content online.
• Ping: Also known as latency, this measures the time it takes for data to travel to a server and back. Lower ping means quicker response times, ideal for gaming and video calls.

Why Test Your Speed?

• Identify Network Issues: Helps pinpoint problems like slow download speeds or poor upload performance.
• Optimize Streaming and Gaming: Ensures your connection can handle HD video or online gaming without lag.
• Verify Your ISP Plan: Check if your internet provider delivers the speeds you’re paying for.

What is a Bufferbloat Test?

A bufferbloat test goes beyond traditional speed tests by measuring how your connection handles latency under load (when uploading or downloading data).

• Bufferbloat occurs when your network gets bogged down due to excessive buffering, causing lag.
• High latency can disrupt:
  • Online gaming (increased lag during fast-paced actions).
  • Video conferencing (delays and dropped audio).
  • Streaming or browsing while other devices are uploading or downloading data.

How to Test Bufferbloat

Our integrated speed test also runs a bufferbloat test, which measures:

• Download Latency: How much delay occurs while downloading data.
• Upload Latency: How much delay occurs while uploading data.
• Overall Grade: A rating from A+ (best) to F (worst), showing how well your connection handles load.

Why It Matters

• A high bufferbloat score means that your connection might feel slow, even if your speed test shows high download/upload speeds.
• Fixing bufferbloat can dramatically improve gaming, video calls, and overall internet experience.

How to Use Our Test

1. Start the Test: Click the “Start Speed Test” button on this page.
2. Review Your Results:
   • Check your download/upload speeds.
   • Look at your ping and bufferbloat grade.
3. Optimize: If your bufferbloat score is poor, consider upgrading your router, enabling QoS (Quality of Service), or reducing simultaneous uploads/downloads.
