Not just that, it also offers the latency and loaded latency numbers on its clean and simple interface free of ads.
2. Speedtest.net

3. Bandwidth Place
Bandwidth Place is a well-designed and easy-to-use Internet speed test website. It offers a lovely uncluttered page that has been around for around 15 years now.
It is also another example of a site that is HTML5 based.
Begin by selecting a server - Speedtest will suggest the best one for you based on your location - then simply hit the “Begin Test” button. The site then will upload and download files to determine the connection speeds. You can then choose a different server, or check your results with other users. A handy Ping test tab is also available.

Ookla Speedtest is one of the more popular Internet speed tests on the net. This app is available as both an app for your smart device and your desktop.
Just click the “Go!” button and you’re off.
5. Xfinity Speed Test
Xfinity Speed Test is a great little tool to help you check your Internet speed. This is another browser-based one but it’ll let you quickly find out your download and upload speeds.
But a word of warning: It is a product produced by the Internet service provider Comcast.
6. AT & T High-Speed Internet Speed Test
AT & T offer their very own Internet speed test. Despite products from its competitors like Xfinity, AT & T’s app overloads the user with information crammed around the usual speedometer tool.

8. Verizon Speed Test
Verizon Speed Test is another very simple, yet effective Internet speed test site. You won’t be bothered by ads and you’ll just need to hit the play button to get the info you need.
9. TestMy.net
The last site we'll look at is TestMy.net. The site gives you the option to test your upload speed, download speed, or both. It also allows you to compare how you are performing against other benchmarks like your city average.

Claiming to be the "most accurate online bandwidth test," the site is certainly the most fun to watch as it sets about to do what it does best. The attractive graph provides real-time speeds, and you can also check your results against previous scores.
