Question 1

How does the speed test work?

Accepted Answer

Our speed test measures your internet connection by downloading and uploading data to our servers. It tests download speed, upload speed, latency (ping), and jitter to give you a complete picture of your connection quality.

Question 2

Why is my speed test result different from other speed test sites?

Accepted Answer

Speed test results can vary based on server location, network conditions, time of day, and the testing methodology. Our test uses Vercel Edge Functions for accurate measurements close to your location.

Question 3

What is a good internet speed?

Accepted Answer

For basic browsing and email, 1-5 Mbps is sufficient. For HD video streaming, you need 5-10 Mbps. For 4K streaming or gaming, 25+ Mbps is recommended. Upload speeds of 3-5 Mbps are good for video calls.

Question 4

What is latency and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Latency (ping) is the time it takes for data to travel from your device to the server and back. Lower latency (under 50ms) is better for gaming and video calls, while higher latency can cause lag and delays.

Question 5

What is jitter?

Accepted Answer

Jitter measures the variation in latency over time. High jitter can cause choppy audio/video in calls and games. Lower jitter (under 10ms) indicates a more stable connection.

Question 6

Is my data private during the speed test?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the speed test only measures connection speed using random data. No personal information or browsing data is collected or stored. All testing happens in your browser.
