What kind of information is tested?

Some important metrics are mentioned below;

• Latency (Latency is considered as a measure of delay. In a network, latency is a measure of  the time it takes for the given data to get to its destination device across the network.)
• Download speed
• Stability(stability is considered one of the most important factors of internet speed to test the reliability of internet connection)
• Upload speed
• IP-Address
• Internet Provider (The company providing you the facility of internet. For example in my case, I am using “Nayatel internet connection”.)
• Security
• Latency Average
• Download Speed
• Upload Speed Average
• Longitude (Based on IP Address)
