Speed Measurement: Download Files Faster Than Ever Before
Connection speed is crucial for measuring the ability to download files and browse the web smoothly. At nPerf, we understand the importance of this measurement, which is why we provide advanced tools to accurately assess your connection speed.
A speed test is an essential procedure for evaluating the speed and quality of your internet connection. During a speed test, several key parameters are measured. The download speed represents the rate at which data is downloaded from the internet to your device, while the upload speed indicates the rate at which data is sent from your device to the internet. These two measurements are crucial for evaluating the overall performance of your connection. In addition to speeds, latency is also measured. Latency, also known as ping, represents the time it takes for a small packet of data to travel back and forth between your device and a remote server. Low latency is preferable as it indicates a quick network response, ideal for real-time applications such as online gaming or video calls.
But that’s not all: we also show you how to optimize this measurement by installing servers, ensuring an accurate representation of reality. We give you the facts, without compromise.
Browsing Measurement: Ensure a Smooth Online Experience
Few speed tests offer browsing measurement, yet it’s essential for evaluating operators’ interconnection with services located in other countries.
At nPerf, we understand the importance of this measurement. You could have an exceptional connection to your operator’s core network, but a mediocre user experience with services like X, Facebook, or Wikipedia. With our solution, you can gain a comprehensive view of your online experience, ensuring smooth and hassle-free browsing.
Our browsing test focuses on the user experience when accessing the five most popular websites in a country. In this process, we measure the time it takes to load a page on each site. This approach allows us to gain valuable insights into the actual performance of the internet connection under typical usage conditions. To make the results more meaningful and accessible, we convert loading times into a standardized performance index. For example, an operator with a performance index of 100% would mean that the page loads instantly, while a 90% index would equate to a loading time of about one second. This method allows users to better understand the quality of their internet connection in terms of web browsing, based on concrete and easy-to-interpret measurements. By using the most visited sites as a benchmark, we ensure a relevant and representative assessment of users’ daily online experience.
Our browsing test is available on our mobile and desktop applications.
Streaming Measurement: Enjoy Optimal Video Quality
Just like browsing, a fast connection to the core network doesn’t guarantee an optimal video experience. The quality of the connection between your operator and streaming services is crucial for an immersive visual experience. With nPerf, you can accurately assess this connection, ensuring you enjoy your favorite content on YouTube without interruption or quality degradation.
The streaming test is an essential method for evaluating the performance of your internet connection in streaming video content. To do this, we use a standard ten-second video, which we stream at three different resolutions: 360p, 720p, and 1080p. When examining the connection quality, we focus on two crucial aspects: preload time and buffering time. Preload time measures how quickly the video starts playing after being launched, while buffering time represents the delay between each playback interruption due to loading additional data. These two indicators provide a detailed view of the connection’s ability to deliver a smooth and uninterrupted streaming experience. To make these results more understandable, we convert them into a performance index expressed as a percentage. A high index indicates that the video loads quickly and plays without interruption, ensuring an optimal streaming experience.
Our streaming test is available on both our mobile and desktop applications.
