Speedtest.net, additionally brought up as Speed take a look at by Ookla, is also an internet service that provides free analysis of net access performance metrics, like association rate and latency. It is the flagship product of Ookla, an online testing and network nosology Company supported in 2006, and primarily based in Seattle, Washington, us. The service measures the information output (speed) and latency of a web association against one in every of around 11,000 geographically spread servers.

The tests are performed at intervals the user's browser or at intervals apps. As of Gregorian calendar month 2018, over twenty one billion speed tests are completed. Tests were antecedently performed exploitation the machine-readable text Transfer Protocol at Layer seven of the Open Systems Interconnection model. To more improve accuracy, Speedtest.net currently performs tests via mechanism management Protocol (Transmission Control Protocol) sockets and uses a custom protocol for communication between servers and purchasers.
The positioning additionally offers elaborate statistics supported take a look at results. This information has been used by various publications at intervals the analysis of net access information rates around the world. The owner and operator of Speedtest.net, Ookla, were established in 2006 by partner’s microphone Apgar and Doug Suttles.
Suttles advised the name Ookla as a result of him already in hand the Ookla.com name in honor of his pet cat that was in turn named for a temperament on the TV series Thunder the Barbarian.
