– In this digital era, internet connectivity is required to work quickly. If a website or application cannot be accessed suddenly, there is a possibility that the internet network is slowing down.
To find out if your internet connectivity is having problems, you need to use an internet speed meter. Quoting from Makeuseof, there are two speed tests or internet speed meters that can be used for free.
The first speed test was a website by the name of Ookla. Launched in 2006, this measuring tool has been used more than 50 billion times. With more than 16,000 servers worldwide, Ookla has 11 million daily users.
To use Ookla, visit the official website and click the big Go button in the middle of the page. Once clicked, the speed test will start working by measuring detailed ping or latency, download speed and upload speed.
Ookla will offer a history log of test results that helps you monitor the performance of your internet connection. Apart from being accessed via the website, Ookla can be downloaded in application form on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Chrome.
Next, there is the Fast.com internet speed measuring tool. This speed test only focuses on internet download speed. If the speed for downloading is very high, the internet speed for streaming is also very high or fast.

Fast.com is free from ads and its speed test works automatically once the website is opened. This connectivity measuring tool can be accessed via any browser on mobile devices, laptops, and even smart televisions.
While the page only displays download speed by default, you can see other details such as latency and upload speed. This information will be visible after you click Show More Information.
Just like Ookla, Fast.com can be used in the form of an application called FAST Speed Test. This application under the Netflix platform can be downloaded on the App Store for iOS users and Play Store for Android users.
