Subtests
Subtests
Latency, Download, and Upload subtests are performed sequentially and
report their results using live visual meters. While the test is running, the
Speedtest page auto-scrolls to display the current running subtest but can
be overruled by touching the screen. A progress indicator is displayed
indicating the subtest that is currently running and live results are reported
on the meter. At the end of each test, the visual meter indicates the final
results and an individual verdict is displayed when enabled (refer to
Thresholds on page 31). Once a first subtest is completed, the global
verdict is calculated and reported when enabled (see Expandable Status
Bar on page 27). Once all subtests are completed, the quick report button
is available to see the test report.
Note: Speedtest uses TCP and requires that the port 8080 is not blocked allowing
TCP type transactions on the network.
Latency
Measures the round-trip time between the client and the Ookla server.
Download
1
Measures the aggregated throughput speed from the Ookla server to the
client.
Upload
1
Measures the aggregated throughput speed from the client to the Ookla
server.
1. When performed over Wi-Fi, these tests are influenced by the Wi-Fi network meaning that on the fly the channel
link speed may change to a lower or higher value depending on the surrounding environment which includes: Wi-Fi
protocol lowering the link speed for backward compatibility, interference from other device types such as microwave
oven, the number of devices present in the vicinity dividing the bandwidth to the access point, and the load balancing
between assess points in business type environments. The Wi-Fi parameters are continuously updated to represent
what is on-going in the Wi-Fi environment, except while the test is running.
