Location is based on your public IP and may not match your exact physical address.

Browser leak & fingerprint check (light)

What do my speed test results actually mean?

We focus on three simple numbers so you don't need to be a network engineer to understand your internet speed.

Download speed: how fast you can stream, download files and browse websites.
Ping: how quickly your device talks to the internet – important for gaming and live video calls.
Jitter: how stable your broadband or Wi-Fi connection feels over time. Lower is better.

How to improve a slow internet connection

If your broadband speed test results are lower than expected, try these simple steps before upgrading your plan:

Restart your router and keep it in an open space away from walls.
Use a cable connection where possible for important calls or gaming.
Move closer to your Wi-Fi router and reduce the number of devices online.
Contact your provider if your results are consistently below your plan's advertised speeds.
