Internet Speed Tester 

is a tool that measures the performance of your internet connection, providing insights into the quality and speed of your network. It evaluates several key metrics:

1. Download Speed 

 The rate at which data is transferred from the internet to your device. This is typically measured in Mbps (megabits per second) and affects activities like streaming videos or downloading files.

   

2. Upload Speed 

 The speed at which data is sent from your device to the internet. Also measured in Mbps, this is important for tasks like video conferencing or uploading large files.

3. Ping (Latency) 

 The time it takes for data to travel from your device to a server and back, measured in milliseconds (ms). A lower ping indicates a more responsive connection, critical for online gaming or video calls.

4. Jitter 

 The variation in packet delay over time, which affects the stability of the connection. Lower jitter means a smoother experience in applications that require real-time communication.

The speed tester typically connects to a nearby server and measures these aspects to give you an accurate snapshot of your network's performance. It's useful for troubleshooting slow connections, comparing service providers, or ensuring you're getting the speed promised by your internet provider.
