About SpeedSnap

Fast, accurate internet speed testing with a fully published method and no account required, usable from any modern browser worldwide

Our Mission

SpeedSnap was built to make internet speed testing fast, honest and open to everyone. We believe you deserve to know how your connection actually performs, so you can make informed decisions about it. SpeedSnap runs one test server, in New Jersey, United States, and publishes its full measurement method so you can repeat any test and check the numbers yourself.

Fixed 15-Second Phases

A run measures latency, then downloads for exactly 15 seconds and uploads for exactly 15 seconds, so every result is built from the same measurement window.

Open About Our Limits

One test server, in New Jersey, United States. Every test measures your connection to that one machine, so the further away you are the higher your ping. We document that instead of hiding it.

No Account Needed

No sign-up, no email, no password, and no raw IP address in your results row. A saved test stores the four measurements plus your city, country, country code, ISP name, device type, the test server, and a hashed fingerprint — the full list is on our methodology page.

Precise Results

Six parallel connections per phase, with the first 1.5 seconds of each 15-second transfer discarded as ramp-up, a documented 1.06 protocol-overhead factor, and a latency figure that drops the fastest and slowest 20% of samples before averaging.

How It Works

1

Latency Test

Multiple ping requests measure your connection latency and jitter

2

Download Test

Parallel streams download test data to measure maximum throughput

3

Upload Test

Upload chunks of data to measure your connection's upload capacity

Why Trust SpeedSnap?

SpeedSnap runs entirely in your browser and publishes its full measurement method, so you can repeat any test and check the numbers yourself.

About the author

Suresh Chandra writes and maintains SpeedSnap's connection guides — the explainers on ping, latency, jitter, bandwidth and home network setup collected on the guides index. The method behind the numbers those guides refer to — what SpeedSnap's test measures, how, and what it cannot measure — is published in full on the methodology page.
