Speed Test Description
Download speed, expressed in megabits per second (Mbps), indicates the rate at which your computer can receive data from an online server. Conversely, upload speed refers to how quickly your computer can transmit data to a server on the Internet. Ping, often referred to as "latency," assesses the responsiveness of your Internet connection by measuring the duration it takes for a request to be sent and a response to be received, with results provided in milliseconds (ms). This metric is crucial for understanding how quickly your Internet can react to commands. Jitter, which is derived from various ping measurements, evaluates the stability of your Internet connection; it is also measured in milliseconds, and lower jitter values signify a more consistent connection. Speed Test operates through a vast network of over 5,000 servers worldwide, selecting one that is closest to your current position to ensure minimal ping times, typically reflecting a dependable Internet connection with strong performance. This comprehensive approach helps users gauge their Internet quality effectively.

Statseeker
Statseeker is a powerful network performance monitor solution. It's fast, scalable, and cost-effective.
Statseeker requires only one server or virtual machine to be up and running in minutes. It can also discover your entire network in under an hour without any significant impact on your bandwidth availability.
It can monitor networks of all sizes, polling upto one million interfaces every sixty second, and collecting network data like SNMP, ping, NetFlow (sFlow, and J-Flow), sylog and trap messages, SDN configuration, and health metrics.
Statseeker performance data are never averaged or rolled up. This eliminates the guesswork when it comes to identifying over- and underestimated infrastructure, root cause analysis, capacity planning, and other tasks.
Statseeker's complete data retention means the in-built analytic engine can accurately detect anomalies in performance and forecast network behaviour months in advance. This allows network admins to plan and perform cost-effective, preventative maintenance, instead of fire-fighting problems as they occur.
Statseeker's dashboards and out-of-the box reports allow you to troubleshoot and fix problems in your network before users are aware.

Speedtest Pro
You can directly assess your network from the toolbar and swiftly evaluate your internet performance with a single click. This testing tool offers insights into the user's network condition from various perspectives. Speedtest Pro serves as a high-quality speed testing solution, enabling users to easily identify the root causes of connectivity issues. It measures and displays the ping value in seconds, allowing for the testing of both download and upload speeds. In addition, it evaluates the loading speed of the current webpage. By accessing advanced options, you can choose whether to include the webpage loading speed in your tests. This measurement reflects the time taken for data sent from your computer to reach the web server and for the server to respond. Typically, this is represented by the level of network delay experienced in online gaming, where a higher ping value indicates greater delays and can affect gameplay smoothness. Upstream traffic refers to the amount of network data transmitted within a given time frame. It's important to note that standard broadband connections often have unequal upstream and downstream speeds, with upstream bandwidth frequently subject to limits. Moreover, understanding these metrics can greatly enhance your online experience and help optimize your network usage.

FAST.com
FAST.com offers an estimate of your current Internet speed, typically reflecting the performance you can expect from major Internet service providers that utilize servers located around the world. The download speed measurement is particularly important for users engaged in content consumption online, and our aim is to keep FAST.com as straightforward and efficient as possible. By clicking the "Show more info" button, users can access additional details such as their upload speed and connection latency, commonly referred to as ping. The platform distinguishes between two latency measurements: "unloaded" and "loaded" under traffic conditions, with the variation between these metrics known as "bufferbloat." To determine your Internet speed, FAST.com conducts a series of download and upload tests with Netflix servers, ultimately calculating the peak speed your Internet connection can achieve. This service is designed to evaluate Internet speeds globally and is accessible on any device equipped with a browser, including smartphones, laptops, and smart TVs. Additionally, this approach ensures that users receive a reliable assessment of their connection quality, aiding in better understanding their Internet performance.

Passwordless Authentication and Passwordless Security
It’s no secret — passwords can be a real headache, both for the people who use them and the people who manage them. Over time, we’ve created hundreds of passwords, it’s easy to lose track of them and they’re easily compromised. Fortunately, passwordless authentication is becoming a feasible reality for many businesses. Duo can help you get there.
