Run an internet speed test

Live online learning works best when your connection is stable—not just “fast on paper.” Use this page to check your real download speed, upload speed, ping (latency), and jitter from Slovakia. Your provider may advertise a maximum speed, but your results can vary depending on Wi‑Fi quality, network congestion, and how far your data travels to reach the server. A quick test helps you understand what your connection can realistically handle for video calls, screen sharing, and hands-on workshops.

A simple, free speed test

This tool is useful if you’re troubleshooting connection issues, preparing for remote classes, or just want to confirm you’re getting the service you pay for. For the most reliable results, close downloads and streaming apps before you start. If you’re on Wi‑Fi, try moving closer to your router—or use an Ethernet cable if you can. Security tools like VPNs can affect results, so consider temporarily disabling them for the test (and re-enable them immediately afterwards). When you’re ready, enter your provider details and the advertised plan speed, then click “Start”.

How the measurement works

To measure performance, our server sends data packets to your device and tracks how quickly they arrive (download), then how quickly your device can send packets back (upload). The test uses multiple packet sizes and runs long enough to produce a more accurate estimate. During the test, avoid other internet activity—like browsing, cloud sync, downloads, or checking email—because the tool uses available bandwidth to measure your maximum practical throughput.

What the results mean

This speed test measures four key parts of your connection that matter for online learning, video calls, and remote work.

  • Download speed: How quickly data comes to your device (Mbps). It affects video streaming quality, loading websites, and downloading course files. Higher is generally better.

  • Upload speed: How quickly your device sends data out (Mbps). This matters for Zoom/Google Meet calls, screen sharing, uploading assignments, and sending large files. For live classes, a stable upload is especially important.

  • Ping (latency): How long it takes for a small message to travel to a server and back (ms). Lower ping typically means a more responsive experience—useful for live discussions, real-time collaboration tools, and anything interactive.

  • Jitter: How consistent your ping is over time. High jitter can cause stuttering audio, frozen video, or delays during calls—even when download/upload speeds look good on paper.

Run a few tests for a clearer picture

One test is a snapshot—not a guarantee. Results can change depending on the time of day, your device performance, Wi‑Fi interference, and current network traffic. For a more realistic view, run the test several times (morning, afternoon, evening) and compare the averages.

If you’re preparing for live online bootcamps from Slovakia, the most important thing is a stable connection. Knowing your speeds (and your ping/jitter) helps you decide whether you should switch to Ethernet, upgrade your router, or adjust how you use the network during class time.
