Speed Checker is a program that can test your Internet download and upload speeds. This software is perfectly named and it works with many ISPs to ensure that you can easily check your Internet speeds. Whether you're simply curious or you want to see if your speeds have increased or decreased, this program is simple to use and very handy when you want an accurate reading of your speed.

Primary Feature

Speed Checker was made to help you check your online upload and download speeds. It works with all major Internet providers and only takes a few seconds to determine your real-time speeds. On top of that, it also saves previous readings so that you can compare current and past readings and see if there have been any major changes.

Tips and Performance Scan

The program has many handy tips for speeding up your computer. These tips probably won't be new if you've looked this up before, but it can still be useful. All it takes is some small changes and your computer will be faster than ever. The performance scan is a free tool that scans your computer itself to see how well it performs. This will see if your RAM, CPU or some other hardware piece is impeding your speeds at all.

Upload and Download Accuracy

Speed Checker's download speeds are highly accurate. Downloads speeds refer to how quickly files will download like videos, images and other files. This is what most users want to know about because this determines how quickly websites and other files load.

Upload speeds refer to how long it takes for a file to transfer to another user or server. You will care about these speeds if you're adding a file to social media, sending a file to a friend or collaborating with others. The upload speeds aren't quite as accurate as the download speeds and you'll notice that this varies from scan to scan.

Premium Servers

There are both free and premium servers. Most ISPs will work with the free servers, which ensures that you don't have to spend any money to check your speed. If your ISP doesn't work with the free server, then you may have to pay for a premium server to check your speed. The problem is that you won't know if free or premium servers work until you download the program and try it. Most people will find that a free scan works for them.

Simple to Use

Speed Checker is a very simple program to use. Just download it, open the program and click the button to scan your speeds. That's all it takes and it will display the speed in an easy to read format.
