About
About Speed Check Hub
Speed Check Hub is a small, independent site with one job: help you measure your internet connection and then understand what the numbers mean for the thing you were actually trying to do, whether that is a video call, a game, a cloud backup or a 4K stream.
Who runs it
The site is written and maintained by the Speed Check Hub editorial team, a small independent team with no ties to any internet provider or equipment maker. Every guide is checked against the primary sources it cites before it is published, and the date at the top of a page changes only when its content changes. You can read the rules we follow in our editorial policy.
What the speed test is
The test on the home page uses the open ndt7 protocol run by Measurement Lab (M-Lab), a non-profit research platform. Your browser opens one encrypted connection to a nearby M-Lab server, downloads for up to ten seconds, then uploads for up to ten seconds. We show download, upload, idle latency and latency under load. Our methodology page explains exactly how each number is produced and why it can differ from other speed tests.
What we do not do
- We do not sell internet plans and are not paid by any internet provider.
- We do not invent test results, reviews or quotes. When a guide mentions a real user's experience, it links to the public post.
- Our calculators run entirely in your browser. The numbers you type are not sent to us.
How the site is funded
The site is currently free and carries no advertising. If we add ads in the future, they will never sit next to the Start button or inside the test area, and the privacy policy will be updated before they go live.
