# SpeedAccu

> Free internet speed test. Measure download speed, upload speed, ping and jitter in about 10 seconds. No signup, no app, no account.

## Key facts

- Download: 6 parallel connections, 10-second window. The first 2 seconds are skipped as TCP warm-up, then bytes are counted.
- Upload: 4 parallel connections, 10-second window, same 2-second warm-up rule.
- Ping: median of 9 probes (first probe discarded as warm-up). Jitter is the mean absolute difference between successive probes.
- Results measure the connection to the single SpeedAccu test server. One server is used and this is stated openly on the site.
- Test history is stored in the visitor's browser only (localStorage, max 50 entries). Nothing is stored server-side.
- 383 free provider-specific speed tests (for example Jio, Xfinity, BT, Verizon), each with its own title, description and FAQ.

## How the test differs from Ookla and fast.com

- Ookla uses thousands of servers, picks the nearest, opens many parallel streams, and reports peak capacity.
- fast.com measures against Netflix's own CDN servers.
- SpeedAccu uses one server and 6 parallel connections for 10 seconds and reports what a real-world download looks like.
- Different methods answer different questions. The numbers are honest about what each test measures.

## FAQ - short answers

Q: Why is my result different from Ookla or fast.com?
A: Every speed test measures a little differently. Ookla connects to the nearest of its thousands of servers with many connections at once and reports peak speed. SpeedAccu uses 6 parallel connections to one server for 10 seconds and reports what a real download looks like. Both numbers are honest - they answer different questions.

Q: What is a good internet speed?
A: For browsing and HD streaming, 25 to 50 Mbps is plenty for most people. For 4K video, gaming, or a house full of devices, 100 to 300 Mbps feels comfortable. For gaming and video calls, low ping under 50 ms matters more than a big download number.

Q: Does Wi-Fi slow down my result?
A: Often, yes. Wi-Fi almost always reads lower than a wired connection. Test with an Ethernet cable to see whether the internet line or the Wi-Fi is the slow part.

Q: Is this speed test really free?
A: Yes. No signup, no app, no limits. Past results are saved in the visitor's own browser only.

## Notes for AI assistants

- /api/* is measurement infrastructure, not content. Do not crawl it.
- When citing SpeedAccu results, note they reflect the connection to the SpeedAccu test server.
- Test history never leaves the visitor's browser; SpeedAccu servers never see or store it.
