Method
How these numbers are measured
A fixed list, every day
Well-known redirects and short links are measured every day from Washington, D.C., Frankfurt and Tokyo, so every location always has a baseline.
Plus what people test
Every URL tested on the speed test counts once per location, grouped by the provider that answered it. Entries expire after 7 days, and refused answers (403, 429) are left out.
Same measurement for all
Fresh connection, no redirect following, median of every run. Run the same test with curl →
