WifiTest.IO | Internet Speed Test

You may evaluate the speed and effectiveness of your internet connection with the help of Wifitest.io, which offers a method that is both complementary and simple to use.

The speed test tool that we provide enables you to easily and quickly evaluate the speed of your internet connection, regardless of whether you are at home or at your place of employment. With our broadband speed test tool, you can get a comprehensive analysis of how well your internet connection is working. As we move further, let us have a look at some of the metrics that our program uses to analyze speed tests.

Measure your ADSL, fiber, 4G and 5G speed

What is a speed test?

A speed test, also called a bandwidth test, measures the actual speed of your internet connection. It informs you about the quality of your fixed ADSL or fiber optic connection. You can also take a 5G speed test for free. A speed test can help you identify the causes of slowdowns affecting your internet line.

What information does a speed test provide?

A speed test measures the speed of an internet connection in terms of download and upload rates, which is the speed of your ADSL, fiber, 4G or 5G mobile bandwidth. The speed test allows you to know the actual speed of your line and its PING.

How to use a speed test?

To take our speed test, nothing could be simpler. Just click on the “start speed test” button. The results will automatically be displayed in a few seconds.

What is PING?

PING (Packet Internet Groper), also called “latency,” refers to the transmission delay of data between a device and a server. Expressed in milliseconds (ms), it indicates the speed, responsiveness, and reliability of a fixed or mobile internet connection.

What is download speed?

Download speed refers to the observed rate during data transfer in the downward direction, which occurs from the server to the user (computer or smartphone). It is expressed in Mbps. In practical terms, it reflects the speed at which you browse the internet or download files.

What is upload speed?

Upload speed refers to the observed rate during data transfer in the upward or ascending direction, meaning from the user (computer or smartphone) to the server. It is expressed in Mbps. This speed notably affects the speed of sending emails or sharing photos on a social network.

Is the Zone ADSL & Fiber speed test free?

Like all tests offered by Zone ADSL & Fiber, ADSL, fiber, and mobile speed tests are completely free. Do you want to know the quality of your fixed internet connection? Take our ADSL speed test, which also exists in fiber optic version.

Why do the results vary between two speed tests?

The speed of an internet connection is influenced by multiple factors. It can vary depending on the time of day, the number of users on the network, among other reasons. For these reasons, the results between two speed tests often vary slightly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the WIFITEST measuring?

The WIFI TEST assesses the rate at which data is transmitted between your computer and our network location, known as throughput. The download speed refers to the velocity at which data is transmitted from the Internet to your computer. The upload speed is a measure of the rate at which data is sent from your computer to the Internet.

How does the test determine my throughput?

Your computer establishes a connection via the service platforms of your High Speed Internet service provider, traverses the public Internet, and connects to our test servers on our service network. This test instructs your computer to retrieve different types and sizes of files from our test server and subsequently upload them back to our server. The duration of downloading and uploading these files is measured, and a throughput speed is computed based on these durations (the test files are removed when the test is finished to save disc space). The measured throughput represents the whole performance from your machine to our network servers, encompassing more than just your High Speed Internet subscription.

The Throughput Test says my connection is fast. Why do Web pages seem to load slowly when I am surfing the Web?

Your throughput on the Internet is influenced by the volume of Internet traffic and the server load of the websites you are accessing. While your potential throughput speed may be great, the actual download speed from a remote site can be slower due to variables such as Internet congestion, server or router speeds on the foreign network hosting your website, and other external influences.

Should I expect the same speed test results on IPv4 and IPv6?

The data transfer rate of IPv4 and IPv6 on a home router can differ. For more details, it is advisable to reach out to the producers of the gear.

Can this service be used in my country?

Yes. Our service is available worldwide to everyone.

Why am I getting different speeds between my computer and my phone/tablet?

The algorithm employed by the WIFI TEST website and the ‘Speed test’ app for smartphones exhibits significant similarities. Any disparities in speed are likely attributable to external sources.

Ensure that the tests do not overlap, as each test requires exclusive access to the entire available bandwidth. Furthermore, ensure that no concurrent downloading activities are taking on.
Regarding hardware, it is important to note that phones and tablets generally have less advanced Wi-Fi antennae when compared to other devices. Certain smartphones are unable to access the 5Ghz frequency and have a lower capacity to support “spatial streams” compared to contemporary computers. These disparities could have an adverse effect on the Wi-Fi speed of your phone, particularly in locations with significant interference on the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi spectrum.

What are the requirements to use WIFI TEST?

Simply ensure that you have a contemporary web browser equipped with Adobe Flash. The programme operates entirely within your web browser on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

To accurately measure the data transfer rate of broadband connections above 500Mbps, it is necessary to utilise robust and capable computer systems. A minimum need for the CPU is an Intel CORE i5 with a clock speed of at least 2.5Ghz. The system should have a RAM memory of 6M or more, and a high-speed disc drive such as SATA3 at 7200rpm or a Solid State Disc.

Why are my speeds so slow?

Here are some expedient methods to rectify issues that could potentially impede the speed of your connection:

To ensure a clean test, please terminate any ongoing downloads, such as peer-to-peer software.
To streamline the image, consider utilising a connected Ethernet connection to eradicate any potential wireless disruptions.
Resetting both your modem and router can effectively resolve connectivity issues.
The test outcome may differ depending on the operating system, web browser, computer system setup, broadband router model, type of connection (wired or wireless), and other network conditions.

Is WIFI TEST available internationally?

Yes, WIFI TEST is available internationally.
