How Internet Speed Tests Work
A speed test streams data blocks between your browser and local server endpoints, calculating the throughput over time to determine your actual connection speed in Megabits per second (Mbps).
Key Speed Metrics
- Download Speed: The rate at which your connection pulls data from the internet.
- Ping: Connection responsiveness in milliseconds.
- Jitter: Variance in latency over consecutive measurements. High jitter causes stuttering in video conferences and online gaming.
