Unlike ad-heavy alternatives, it runs with no tracking, no accounts, and no data harvesting. A real-time animated gauge and live graph show your connection quality as the test runs, and results are saved locally in your browser history.

Click 'Start Test' to begin the three-phase test: first ping/jitter (latency measurement with 8 requests), then download speed (four progressively larger data transfers), then upload speed. The animated gauge updates live. After the test, a quality rating and your result history appear automatically.
