These measurements are useful for understanding your connection’s performance and can help identify potential problems with the network. In addition to measuring speed, many tests also measure latency (the time it takes data packets to travel between two points on the network), jitter (the variation in latency), and packet loss (data packets that were transmitted but never arrived at their destination) and network congestion.
Test Your Internet Connection with a Speed TestĪ speed test, also known as a broadband speed test or internet speed test, is a tool that measures the download and upload speed of your internet connection.
