How the Tests Work

Bufferbloat

We measure baseline latency, then latency during download, upload, and combined load. The increase defines bufferbloat and is graded A+ to F.

Ping Spike

Continuous pings; spikes are flagged when a sample exceeds the moving average by a threshold.

Jitter

Calculated as the standard deviation of multiple latency samples.

Packet Loss

Counts failed requests over a series of attempts and reports the loss percentage.
