No sign-up. Provider and city are approximate IP-based details. Results may vary by browser, WiFi signal and server route. This static website shows a quick browser-based estimate with a light latency check. Upload speed is estimated because a true upload test needs a server endpoint.
Free speedtest and speed checker
Check WiFi and broadband speed
This online internet speed test helps you check download speed, upload speed, ping and latency in Mbps on a phone, laptop or desktop. Use the results to understand streaming, calls, gaming and everyday browsing.
Upload speed
How quickly your device sends data during video calls, cloud backups and file sharing.
Latency
How long data takes to travel to a server and back. Lower latency generally feels more responsive.
How it works
One click. Clear results.
1
Start automatically
The test begins as soon as the page loads.
2
Measure the connection
Download speed is estimated from browser network information and a light latency check. Upload needs a server endpoint, so it is estimated clearly.
3
Review your result
Provider, city and detailed metrics appear after completion.

Suggested speed
What matters most
Browsing, email and social appsBasic websites, search, messaging and light downloads.
5-10 Mbps
A steady connection is usually more important than a very high number.
HD video streamingYouTube, OTT apps and video lessons on one or two devices.
10-25 Mbps
Download speed and stable WiFi help avoid buffering.
4K streaming and large downloadsHigh quality video, game downloads and software updates.
25-100 Mbps
Higher download speed saves time when files are large.
Video calls and work from homeMeetings, screen sharing, cloud work and online classes.
20-50 Mbps
Upload speed, ping and jitter affect call quality more than people expect.
Online gamingMultiplayer games, live play and voice chat.
25+ Mbps
Low ping and low jitter usually matter more than maximum Mbps.

Why your internet speed test can change
Run two or three tests and compare the pattern. A single result can move because your device, WiFi and internet provider are all part of the path.
WiFi distance and walls
If the router is far away or blocked by thick walls, your WiFi speed test may be lower than your broadband plan. Try testing near the router for comparison.
Background downloads
Cloud backup, app updates, streaming devices and other phones can use bandwidth while the test is running. Pause heavy downloads for a cleaner result.
Router and device limits
Older routers, older phones and crowded 2.4 GHz WiFi can limit speed. A wired test or 5 GHz WiFi often shows what the connection can really deliver.
Server route and peak hours
Internet traffic changes during busy hours. Your ISP route, test server distance and local congestion can make results higher or lower at different times.
Why a 100 Mbps plan may show more than 100 Mbps
Some internet providers slightly over-provision plans, so a 100 Mbps package may test a little higher in ideal conditions. Short speed bursts, cache behavior, Mbps versus MB/s confusion and a nearby test route can also make a result look higher than expected.
How to get a more accurate speed test
Test with one active device, close downloads, disconnect VPN, stand near the router or use an Ethernet cable, then run the test again after a minute. Compare download speed, upload speed and ping together instead of judging only the largest Mbps number.

Frequently asked
Internet speed test questions
Is “speedtest” the same as “speed test”?
People commonly search for both spellings when they want to check internet performance. FreeInternetTest.com provides an independent browser-based speedtest and is not affiliated with Ookla or its Speedtest service.
How can I test my internet speed online?
Open FreeInternetTest.com on the device and connection you want to check. The free speed test starts in your browser and displays an estimated download speed in Mbps, latency and supporting connection details. Run two or three tests for a more useful comparison.
Is this a WiFi and broadband speed test?
Yes. You can run the test over home WiFi, wired Ethernet, fiber broadband, cable broadband or mobile internet. A WiFi result measures the experience on that device, so distance, walls and router quality can affect it.
Can I run a net speed test on a mobile phone?
Yes. The page works in a modern mobile browser without installing an app. Connect to WiFi to test the home network, or switch off WiFi when you specifically want to check mobile data speed.
What is a good internet speed?
A good speed depends on how many people and devices use the connection. For normal browsing and HD streaming, 25 Mbps can feel fine. For 4K streaming, large downloads, online classes and work from home, 50 Mbps or more is usually more comfortable.
How do I check my WiFi speed?
Open the speed test while connected to WiFi and let the test finish. For comparison, run one test near the router and one test from your usual room. The difference helps show whether the issue is WiFi coverage or the internet connection itself.
Why do results change between tests?
WiFi quality, background downloads, server distance, ISP routing and network congestion can change from minute to minute. Run more than one test and look for the average result.
Why is WiFi slower than my plan?
Walls, distance, interference, router capability and older devices can reduce the speed measured over WiFi. A wired Ethernet test often comes closer to the plan speed.
Why is upload shown as an estimate?
A true upload test needs a safe server endpoint that accepts temporary data and discards it. This static version estimates upload from the displayed download estimate and latency, so treat it as guidance rather than an exact upload test.
What is ping in a speed test?
Ping is the time it takes for data to travel from your device to a server and back. Lower ping feels better for gaming, video calls and live work because actions respond faster.
Why can a test show more than my 100 Mbps plan?
Some providers slightly over-provision plans, and browser tests can also vary because of ISP burst speed, WiFi quality, server distance and routing. Run two or three tests and compare the average result.
Does a VPN affect the test?
Often yes. A VPN adds encryption and sends traffic through another server, which may reduce speed or increase latency.
