How fast is your connection, really?
Real-time download, upload, ping and jitter. No ads. No tracking. Just numbers.
What Velocity actually does
Latency
A burst of tiny HTTPS round-trips to our edge measures the real transport-level RTT and its variance (jitter). We drop outliers before averaging.
Download
We stream random data and sample throughput every 300 ms. TCP slow-start is ignored — we count only the sustained steady-state rate.
Upload
We push cryptographic-grade random bytes and measure upstream. A fresh payload per batch avoids compression artifacts from middleboxes.
Frequently asked
Do you store my results?
No. Velocity runs entirely in your browser against our public test endpoint. We don't log IPs, user-agents or results. No cookies, no third-party scripts, no analytics.
Why is my speed different from what I pay for?
Several factors apply simultaneously: physical distance to the test server, time-of-day congestion on your ISP, Wi-Fi interference, your router's capacity, and the link between your ISP and ours. A wired client in the same city as the server usually reads closest to the rated line speed.
What do Mbps and MB/s mean?
Mbps = megabits per second. This is how ISPs advertise their service. MB/s = megabytes per second, what your download manager shows. 1 MB/s = 8 Mbps. A 800 Mbps connection can download roughly 100 MB of data every second.
Is this test accurate?
It measures the real transfer rate between your browser and our server. That's an honest lower bound on your internet speed to this one destination. The actual capacity to other servers depends on routing, peering, and remote server limits — which no single test can reveal.
Privacy
Velocity was built after we got tired of "speed test" pages that were 90% ads and 10% trackers. We don't want your data. We don't sell your data. We don't have your data. Run the test. Close the tab. Forget we existed.
