Speedtest by Ookla

What Speedtest by Ookla does

Speedtest by Ookla checks the performance of the internet connection on your Android device. It reports download speed, upload speed and several forms of latency, giving you a practical way to investigate slow browsing, unstable video calls, gaming lag or a weak mobile connection. It suits both everyday users who want a quick answer and more technical users comparing networks or troubleshooting a home setup.

Useful checks beyond the speed result

The app includes a video test that examines how well the current connection handles streaming, including its likely resolution and buffering performance. Coverage maps show mobile network availability and reported dead zones, including 5G information where data is available. An outage-checking feature can also help distinguish a local connection problem from a wider issue affecting a service or app.

How it works in practice

The main test is easy to reach, while the additional tools are separated into their own areas rather than mixed into the results. Test history makes it possible to compare connections over time or in different places. The app also includes a VPN option for people who want extra privacy on public Wi-Fi; its free allowance is limited to 2GB per month. Advertising is part of the free experience.

Scale and audience

Developed by Ookla, Speedtest has a 4.53 rating from about 1.47 million reviews and more than 100 million installs. Those figures make it a familiar choice for connection checks, though they do not replace testing in the location and conditions that matter to you. Choose it if you want speed measurements alongside coverage, streaming and outage information; a simpler speed-only utility may be preferable if you do not need those extras.
