Internet Speed Test (Basic)
Approximate download-timing test that measures how fast a small test file downloads in your browser. An estimate, not a certified speed test. Free, fast and private.
Honest note: this is an approximate download-timing test. It times a small test file downloaded in your browser and estimates speed from that. It is not a certified speed test and results vary with server load, Wi-Fi and other traffic.
Test file: a small asset from this site, downloaded 3 times with cache disabled.
How to use Internet Speed Test (Basic)
- Click Run Speed Test and wait while the small test file downloads three times.
- Read the median speed — the middle of the three runs is the most stable estimate.
- Close other downloads and re-run if the result looks far from your plan speed.
