Speed Test
IdleFrequently Asked Questions
How do I test my internet speed?
Simply click the "Start Speed Test" button on SpeedTestHQ. Our tool will automatically connect to the nearest server and measure your download speed, upload speed, ping, and jitter in seconds.
What is a good download speed?
A good download speed depends on your usage. For basic browsing and email, 10-25 Mbps is sufficient. For streaming 4K video, at least 25 Mbps is recommended. For online gaming, video conferencing, and multiple devices, 100 Mbps or higher is ideal.
What is the difference between Ping and Jitter?
Ping (Latency) measures the reaction time of your connection—how fast you get a response after you've sent out a request. Jitter measures the variability of the ping over time. Lower values are better for both, especially for real-time activities like gaming and video calls.
Why is my internet slow?
Slow internet can be caused by many factors, including network congestion, poor Wi-Fi signal, outdated router hardware, background downloads, or issues with your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Try restarting your router or moving closer to it to see if speeds improve.
