Network Speed Test for Windows

Useful insights for your internet speed

Network Speed Test provides insights into your network performance by measuring download speed, upload speed, and network delay in milliseconds. Using servers from across the globe, the app evaluates your connection’s latency and throughput to determine what activities your current speed can support, such as streaming low or high-quality videos or making video calls.

Clear test experience

Network Speed Test features an interface that displays a circular speed gauge which reflects progress during the test. Once complete, results appear in a clean layout, including your upload and download speeds in Mbps, network delay in milliseconds, and host name. The circular graph highlights where your speeds fall on a scale from 0.5 Mbps to 50 Mbps and beyond, with helpful indicators showing which activities your connection can handle. The screen also records the date and time of your latest test for easy reference.

Track your network performance

Network Speed Test maintains a detailed history of previous results, allowing you to easily compare network performance over time. This history includes the date, network type, delay in milliseconds, and both download and upload speeds in Mbps for each recorded test. Accessing past results is simple—just slide to the right to view the complete list.

Designed for ease and transparency

The app uses worldwide servers to ensure accurate measurements and is built for simplicity, requiring only a single tap to begin a test. However, it does not allow users to manually select a specific test server, which advanced users might prefer for more controlled or region-specific diagnostics.

To help improve overall network quality, the app may send anonymous data about your device and connection to Microsoft, and if you consent, it can also include location information at the time of the test. All data collected is not linked to your identity and will not be used for targeted marketing, ensuring transparency and privacy.

Simple and reliable, with one caveat

For a no-fuss analysis of your internet connection, Network Speed Test is a winner. It pairs a user-friendly interface with reliable results and helpful historical trends. The absence of manual server selection is a notable drawback for tech-savvy users, but for most people, it remains an effortlessly effective tool to check speed and stability.
