Measure your download, upload and latency in about twenty seconds. We pair the numbers with a plain-English read on what they mean for streaming, calls and working from home.
§ Speed test
Powered by Cloudflare
We measure latency, download and upload by pulling and pushing payloads to a Cloudflare edge server. The whole test takes about 20 to 25 seconds so the connection has time to ramp up to full speed.
Close other tabs and pause any downloads for a more honest reading. Run it from the same room as your router first, then move around to check coverage.

How to tell if it is your Wi-Fi or your line
Same room, ideally within a metre or two. Note the number.
Usually the back bedroom, the kitchen, or the conservatory.
If the second is similar, your line is the bottleneck. Talk to your ISP, or consider an upgrade. If the second is dramatically lower, your Wi-Fi is the bottleneck. That is something we usually fix in a single visit.
For a more accurate line speed, plug a laptop directly into the router with an Ethernet cable and run the test again. That removes Wi-Fi from the equation entirely. The number you get is what your line is actually delivering.
