speed test
Bandwidth check-up
A speed test measures how fast data transfers over an internet connection, typically reporting download speed, upload speed, and latency.
Users run speed tests to verify they're getting what they pay for from their provider, or to diagnose connection problems: The speed test showed 50 megabits down but only 5 up.
The term also applies to any timed assessment of quickness—typing speed tests, reading speed tests.
