Run the Speedtest command by entering the appropriate command for your operating system.
When you receive the results of your speed test, it's important to understand what they mean. Here are some key factors to consider:
Download speed: This indicates the rate at which data is transferred from the internet to your device. Higher download speeds generally mean faster internet browsing, streaming, and downloading.
Upload speed: This measures the rate at which data is transferred from your device to the internet. Higher upload speeds are important for activities such as video conferencing, file uploads, and online gaming.
Latency/Ping: This represents the time it takes for data to travel from your device to the test server and back. Lower latency values indicate better responsiveness, which is important for activities like online gaming or real-time communication.
For the most accurate results, it's recommended to perform multiple speed tests at different times of the day.
