Long-run analysis
Analyze network performance
Run a long-run monitor to analyze network performance. Sessions from the desktop app sync to your account and are summarized here — every sample, across every session, per network.
What these mean
DownloadHow fast your connection pulls data in for pages, streaming and downloads. ~25 Mbps carries a single 4K stream, so 100 Mbps runs ~4 at once.
UploadHow fast you send data out — video calls, photo backups, posting. ~4 Mbps covers 1 HD call, and 20 Mbps handles ~5 callers on the same line.
LatencyThe round-trip delay to the server (the “ping”), in milliseconds. Under 20 ms feels instant and 20–50 ms is fine for calls and gaming. Past that fast games feel sluggish, and past ~150 ms video calls lag.
JitterHow much that delay wobbles from one probe to the next. Under 5 ms is smooth. Once it crosses ~30 ms you get choppy audio and rubber-banding in games, even when the raw speed is high.
Packet lossThe share of packets that never arrive, and a little already hurts. At 1–2% calls stutter and video buffers, and above ~5% you get dropped calls and unplayable games.
How it works: these are every sample from every synced monitor session, grouped by network — the desktop app measures on a fixed cycle and syncs to your account, and this page summarizes what it recorded. Read the full methodology →
