Speedtest by Ookla
The Global Broadband Speed Test
Speedtest by Ookla is a free internet speed testing tool that measures the download, upload, and latency of a user's broadband connection. It is available as a web app and native desktop and mobile applications. The platform also provides guides, FAQs, and a knowledge base to help users understand and optimize their internet performance.
Users run a test from the web or app and Speedtest measures connection performance against a nearby server, reporting download speed, upload speed, and ping.
Anyone wanting to test or monitor their internet connection speed
