speed test

A speed test is a tool that measures your internet connection's performance, specifically its download and upload speeds, as well as ping (latency). It typically operates by temporarily transferring data to and from a server, allowing you to see how quickly you can send and receive information online. This helps you assess whether you’re getting the service speed you pay for, identify potential issues with your connection, and compare different internet service providers. Conducting regular speed tests can help ensure that your internet meets your needs for activities like streaming, gaming, and browsing.
