About
PulseLAN measures the actual speed of your own network by testing directly between two of your devices - not against a test server hundreds of miles away, and not by reporting an internet speed and calling it Wi-Fi.
Turn one device into a server, scan its QR code from a second device (or pick it from the list), and run a real throughput and latency test across the network you use every day. You get download, upload, ping and jitter, plus a plain-language verdict on what that means.
No second device? Any laptop, tablet or phone with a web browser can join a test straight from that browser - nothing to install on the other end. That makes PulseLAN useful for finding the weak spots in a house, checking a new router or mesh node, or confirming a device is getting the throughput it should before you start troubleshooting anything else.
Also included:
- Internet speed test - measures your connection against Cloudflare's public speed-test service, with a bufferbloat grade for latency under load. Optional, and it asks first.
- Bottleneck verdict - compares an internet result against a LAN result to tell you whether your Wi-Fi or your ISP is the limiting factor.
- Devices - lists what is answering on your network, with readable names instead of bare IP addresses.
- Ping and packet-loss monitor - watch an address over time and see loss and jitter as they happen.
- Scheduled monitoring - re-run a test on an interval and get an alert when results fall off, with CSV export of the history.
PulseLAN runs on your own network. There is no account, no sign-up, and no analytics. It collects nothing: results are stored only on the device that measured them and are never uploaded to us or to anyone else - we have no server to upload them to. Full privacy policy at pulselan.com/privacy.

What's New in PulseLAN
1.3.0
October 18, 2026
• Results now record the connection each test ran over — Wi-Fi generation and band, Ethernet, or mobile network and carrier — so results in History are comparable. • The internet speed test now waits for you to tap Start instead of running the moment the screen opens. • Fixed: uploads measured incorrectly when testing from an iPhone or iPad browser against a PulseLAN server.
