A diagnosis, not just a speed number

  1. Tell us the problem

    Lag, buffering, dropouts, slow Wi-Fi: the symptom decides which results matter most.

  2. We test the whole path

    Response time, lost data, slowdowns when busy, speed and DNS, from this device out to the Internet.

  3. You get a plain answer

    The most likely cause, how sure we are, and the steps to fix it, easiest first.

What the test checks

Response time RTT
How long a round trip to the Internet takes, and whether it stays steady.
Lost data LOSS
Whether pieces of data go missing, which causes lag and frozen calls.
Slowdowns when busy LOAD
Whether everything stalls when someone else is downloading or streaming.
Speed DOWN/UP
Download and upload speed, as one clue among several, not the whole answer.
DNS DNS
Which service looks up website addresses for you, and how quickly.
This device or your network? COMPARE
Test a phone on the same Wi-Fi by scanning a code, and we'll tell you which one has the problem.
