Internet Speed Test

Try moving closer to your Wi-Fi router or switching to a wired Ethernet connection. Restart your router and modem. Contact your ISP if high latency persists — it may indicate network congestion or line issues.

High jitter often indicates Wi-Fi interference. Move closer to the router, switch to 5GHz Wi-Fi, or reduce the number of devices using the network simultaneously. Ethernet connections typically have much lower jitter.

The test server may be temporarily unavailable, or your network may be blocking the requests. Try again in a few minutes. If the issue persists, your firewall or network configuration may be interfering.

Network conditions fluctuate based on time of day, server load, and local network usage. Run 3-5 tests and average the results for a more accurate picture of your typical performance.

Wi-Fi inherently has higher latency than Ethernet due to wireless overhead and interference. If Wi-Fi latency is significantly higher than expected, try changing the Wi-Fi channel or moving the router to a less congested location.

Latency is the time it takes for a data packet to travel from your device to a server and back (round-trip time). Lower latency means faster response times, which is critical for video calls, online gaming, and real-time applications. Measured in milliseconds (ms).

Jitter measures how much your latency varies between consecutive packets. High jitter means inconsistent connection quality, which causes choppy video calls, lag spikes in games, and buffering in streaming. Ideally, jitter should be under 30ms.

This test measures latency and jitter using small HEAD requests, not download/upload bandwidth. Speed test sites like Ookla measure throughput (MB/s) which is a different metric. Both are useful — latency affects responsiveness while throughput affects download speed.

Under 50ms is excellent for most applications. 50-100ms is good for general browsing and video calls. 100-200ms is acceptable but may feel slightly slow. Over 200ms will be noticeably laggy for real-time applications like gaming and video conferencing.

Network conditions change constantly based on server load, network congestion, Wi-Fi signal strength, and the number of devices sharing your connection. Run multiple tests at different times for a more accurate picture of your typical network performance.

No, this test specifically measures latency (response time) and jitter (consistency). For bandwidth testing (download/upload speed in Mbps), use dedicated speed test services like Ookla Speedtest or Fast.com.
