Run a Speed Test
Use the free test below to measure your connection right now. It adapts to your speed and finishes in under a minute.
How the measurement works
The measurement engine begins with tiny requests and grows the transfer size stepwise, so the total data moved is close to the minimum needed for a confident number.
Instead of forcing one fixed download on everyone, the tool adapts: it sends progressively larger payloads and stops the moment the estimate stabilizes.
Adaptive testing also means the test is gentle on mobile data plans: it stops transferring as soon as the estimate is statistically stable.
What the numbers mean
For everyday browsing even modest download numbers feel fine; the number only starts to matter for large file transfers, streaming quality and multi-device households.
Ping is the round-trip delay to the test server in milliseconds; lower is better for real-time apps. Jitter is how much that delay wobbles, which often matters more than raw ping for calls and streaming.
What affects your speed
Signal strength, router placement, device capability and background traffic all influence Wi-Fi results, which is why the same plan can report different speeds in different rooms.
Results reflect the connection between your device and the nearest Cloudflare edge, a good proxy for overall internet performance.
A few final tips
Your data stays in your browser for the duration of the test; only a small, anonymous summary is saved afterward, and never the raw payload.
This test is free, requires no account, and never shows ads while it runs — the only goal of the measurement is to give you a trustworthy number as quickly as possible.
The result screen labels the server you measured against, so you always know exactly what path a number represents before you compare it with anything else.
A few final tips
Run a Speed Test is built to run on your connection in under a minute — press start, read the four numbers, and compare them with what your plan promises.
Speed test limitations
This test measures throughput to Cloudflare's edge, not to every service you use. Remote work, gaming or streaming servers may route differently and show different performance.
A speed test measures your connection to our test server, which typically lives on the same backbone your ISP peers with. Speeds to other destinations can vary with routing, server load, and the websites you use.
