Speedtest is a speed test app and webpage by Ookla. Speedtest provides an individual to test the speed of their connection on a specific device in real time
The Speedtest data gathered by each test is relayed to the user - and also used for researched and analytics by Ookla.
Speedtest runs tests for speed for download speed, upload speed, and latency (ping).
The app version of Speedtest also provides a map tool that shows the type of coverage available in locations across the country. The iOS app will also test latency (ping) during three different stages - idle, download, and upload.
It then records the results of these tests, as well as provides you information on the location of the server testing is being routed through, the approximate distance of that server, and which internet provider is being tested.
Users are welcome to create a Speedtest account so that they can track their tests (history).
Speedtest is currently available for the web at Speedtest.net and for download on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Google Chrome, and Apple TV.
