Connection type test
What your browser can tell you about this connection — its type, speed class and estimated latency, read straight from the device. Honest about its limits, with nothing stored.
Your browser doesn’t share connection details — Safari and Firefox restrict this API for privacy. For real numbers, run the live Download, Upload or Ping tests.
Your connection, explained
What this test shows
This reads your browser's Network Information API — a best-effort summary the browser keeps about your current connection. It can include the type (Wi-Fi, cellular, ethernet), an effective speed class, an estimated downlink, and a rough round-trip latency.
Why these are estimates
The browser derives these from recent network activity, not a fresh measurement — so the downlink and round-trip are approximations, and the speed class is a coarse bucket (like "4G-class") rather than an exact figure. For real, measured numbers, use the live download, upload and ping tests.
Not all browsers share this
The Network Information API is supported in Chrome, Edge and most Android browsers, but Safari and Firefox restrict it for privacy. On those browsers this page will show that the details aren't exposed — which is by design, not an error.
What about Wi-Fi signal strength?
Browsers can't read your Wi-Fi radio signal — there's no web API for it. To judge real-world connection quality, lean on measured latency and throughput from our speed tests; for raw signal bars, check your device's Wi-Fi menu or your router.
