Real numbers from your own browser: round-trip time through the network to the origin, plus your connection details. Nothing is stored, nothing to install.
Read once, in your browser, from the network itself — no cookies, no tracking, nothing saved on our side.
We send 12 tiny requests to the origin server in Frankfurt — each one unique, so it cannot be answered from a cache — and measure the round trip. This is exactly the path and speed your dynamic content takes.

Median RTT — the middle of the 12 measurements, the honest “typical” value. Best time — your fastest request, close to the physical limit of the path. Jitter — the difference between fastest and slowest: a large gap means an unstable connection (Wi-Fi, mobile network, congested ISP). Under 35 ms feels instant; around 100 ms is normal intercontinental traffic; above 200 ms is the other side of the planet.
Speedtest measures bandwidth to a nearby server. This test measures latency to our specific routing path, including the network exchange in Frankfurt — which is what your website visitors actually experience.
No. The page reads it in your browser and shows it to you; nothing is sent to our databases or logs beyond the ordinary request that loaded this page.
It depends on the workload. Bots, backups and cron jobs do not care about latency at all. Interactive websites and remote desktops do — for those, our Frankfurt location is the closest we offer.
