With more people streaming and general Internet use increasing, I get questions about measuring home Internet performance. I recommend using the three sites listed below. I have them in the order I prefer and have comments regarding each site.
Cloudflare – more technical detail and appears very accurate, no ads.
Netflix – change settings to enable more technical detail and save your configuration, very accurate, and no ads.
Ookla – similar accuracy as Cloudflare and Netflix, but less technical detail and *littered* with ads.
