This step is very simple. On your device, be it mobile, computer or desktop, open your browser. Navigate to Google.com and type this into the search bar “Check Internet Speed“.
It will open a page that looks exactly like this;
With these written words:
Check your Internet speed in under 30 seconds. The speed test usually transfers less than 40 MB of data, but may transfer more data on fast connections.
To run the test, you’ll be connected to Measurement Lab (M-Lab) and your IP address will be shared with them and processed by them in accordance with their privacy policy. M-Lab conducts the test and publicly publishes all test results to promote Internet research. Published information includes your IP address and test results, but doesn’t include any other information about you as an Internet user.
2. Click Run Speed Test
When this page pops up, locate the “Run Speed Test” with a blue background and white text. This will pop up a page with an icon that looks like the one in a car dashboard.
3. Wait Till It’s Done
Once this pops up, all you have to do is WAIT!. Yeah, you’d wait!
Wait, hold on, when we say “wait“, we don’t really mean “WAIT TILL ETERNITY“, it wouldn’t take long before it gets processed and gives you your exact internet speed result. Voila! Simple, isn’t it? Of course it is!
