How to test your Internet speed on Android
For a fair result, test under normal conditions.
- Connect to the network you want to test and close apps that are downloading or streaming.
- Open Internet Speed Test and start the test.
- Wait for the download, upload and latency results, and note the connection type and test server.
- Run it again at a different time or place to compare, using the result history.
- If you are on a mobile or metered connection, remember that the test uses data.
Frequently asked questions
Does a speed test use my mobile data?
Yes. A speed test downloads and uploads data over your connection, which can use a significant amount and may be charged on a metered plan. Run it on Wi-Fi where you can.
Why is my result different from the speed my provider advertises?
Results vary with your device, network congestion, the test server and other apps using your connection. They are indicative and are not a guarantee of performance.
What is latency?
Latency is the time a round trip to the test server takes, in milliseconds. Lower is better for calls, gaming and browsing.
Which server does the test use?
The server used is shown on the result screen. It receives your IP address and technical request details, as any website would, and no personal information is included in the test data.
Does the app keep my results?
Results are stored on your phone only, if history is on. You can delete them or clear everything at any time.
Is Internet Speed Test free?
The app is free and supported by ads, with consent choices where the law requires them.
