Press "Start speed test". The test runs entirely in your browser and uses Cloudflare's public speed test service.
What this speed test measures
This free speed test runs completely inside your browser. When you press start, the page sends and receives a small amount of data with a public speed test service and measures how fast your connection moves it. Nothing is installed and you do not need an account.
Download speed is how quickly data travels from the internet to your device - it decides how fast pages open, videos load and files arrive. Upload speed is how quickly your device sends data out, which matters for video calls, live streaming and sending large files. Ping (latency) is the round trip time for a tiny request; low ping feels snappy, high ping feels laggy.
Why your result changes
Every speed test gives an estimate, not an exact promise. Wi-Fi signal strength, distance from the router, how many devices are streaming at once and even the time of day all change the number. Run the test two or three times and take the best result, and test once over Wi-Fi and once with a cable so you know whether the bottleneck is your connection or your router.
How to get a faster connection
Move closer to the router or switch to the 5 GHz band. Restart the router if it has been on for weeks. Close background apps and pause cloud backups or downloads while you test. If you are on mobile data, try a different spot in the room - signal bars are only a rough guide. If ping is high but speed looks fine, that usually points to the network rather than your device.
The test transfers real data to measure your speed, so it uses a small amount of your internet quota. Results are approximate and may be collected by the speed test service for diagnostics. Confirm important numbers with your internet provider before acting on them.

What this speed test measures
This test transfers a small amount of data in your browser and shows three numbers: ping (latency in milliseconds), download speed (how fast data reaches you) and upload speed (how fast data leaves your device). Nothing is installed and no signup is needed.
How to use it
- Keep the tab open — the test needs a few seconds of your connection to itself.
- Press the start button and let the test finish without other downloads or streaming running.
- Read the three results: ping for calls and gaming, download for streaming and file downloads, upload for video calls and posting files.
Example
A typical home fibre line in Pakistan may show ping 15 ms, download 45 Mbps and upload 20 Mbps. That handles 1080p streaming on two or three devices and video calls without noticeable lag. A 4G connection in a weak area often shows ping above 100 ms with download under 10 Mbps — fine for browsing, but calls may stutter.
Why your result differs from the speed your ISP advertises
- Distance and routing — a browser test uses a different server than your ISP's own test, so latency and speed differ.
- Wi-Fi vs cable — Wi-Fi loses speed with distance, walls and interference. Test near the router or on a cable for the closest to line speed.
- Other devices — backups, downloads and streaming on the same network take a share of the bandwidth.
- Peak hours — evenings are usually slower than mornings, so testing twice at different times is fairer.
Limitations
- It measures one short transfer to one server, not your full line capacity.
- A VPN or proxy makes results slower, because traffic takes a longer route.
- It does not measure packet loss, jitter over time, or signal strength in other rooms.
Frequently asked questions
Is the speed in Mbps or MB/s?
Mbps (megabits per second). Divide by 8 for MB/s — 40 Mbps is about 5 MB/s in a file download.
Why is my upload slower than my download?
Most home and mobile connections are made asymmetric on purpose, giving more bandwidth to downloads.
Why does the number change each time?
The network is shared, so small differences are normal. A large repeatable drop usually points to a Wi-Fi problem or peak-hour congestion.
Does it use my mobile data?
Yes, it transfers real data. A short test costs only a few MB, but keep an eye on your balance.
