About Speed Test for WiFi

Speed Test for WiFi exists because most speed tests answer the wrong question. A single number from a phone in the kitchen mixes together your internet plan, your router, your Wi-Fi coverage and the device itself. Our guides separate those parts so you can tell which one is slow.

We cover how to run a fair test, what each figure on the results screen means, how Wi-Fi bands, walls and router placement change the result, and which fixes are worth trying before you call your provider or buy new hardware.

Guides are written and edited by the Speed Test for WiFi editorial team. We are independent of internet providers and speed-test services. Corrections and questions go to editor@speedtestforwifi.com.
