How to read your results
| Result | What it means for streaming |
|---|---|
| Download | The most important number. It decides the highest quality you can watch without buffering: about 3 Mbps for SD, 5 Mbps for HD, 8–10 Mbps for Full HD and 25 Mbps for 4K, per stream. |
| Upload | Barely matters for watching TV. It affects video calls, sending files and cloud backups. |
| Ping | How long data takes to make a round trip. Under 50 ms is excellent, and anything under 100 ms is fine for streaming. High ping makes channels slower to start but does not cause buffering on its own. |
| Jitter | How much the ping varies. Low jitter (under 20 ms) means a stable connection. High jitter is often a sign of weak Wi-Fi or a busy network. |
Get an accurate result
- Test on the device you stream on. Your phone next to the router can show a very different speed from a Firestick behind the TV. Open this page in the browser on your TV device, or in Downloader's built-in browser on Fire TV.
- Pause other downloads and streams in your home while testing.
- Test more than once, including in the evening, when networks are busiest.
- Compare Wi-Fi with a cable if you can. A big difference means Wi-Fi is your bottleneck.
About this test
The test downloads and uploads blocks of data to Cloudflare's public speed test servers, choosing the server closest to you. It grows the block size until each transfer is long enough to measure accurately, then reports the 90th percentile of the results, which reflects the speed your connection sustains rather than one lucky burst. Your IP address is visible to Cloudflare, as with any website you visit, but no results are stored or sent to us.
