WATCH IT LIVE See your test in progress from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with Live Activity โ€” no need to keep the app open. EVERY METRIC THAT MATTERS โ€ข Download & upload speed (Mbps) โ€ข Ping (latency) and jitter โ€ข Packet loss โ€ข Your ISP name, IP address, and approximate location โ€” from IP data, never your device's GPS TRACK IT OVER TIME The Insights tab logs every test locally on your device with a trend chart, so you can see whether your connection is actually getting worse โ€” useful the next time you call your ISP. DIAGNOSE, DON'T JUST MEASURE The Tools tab adds a custom ping utility and a DNS benchmark, so you can tell whether a slowdown is your network or your DNS. BUILT-IN ACCURACY CHECKS TrueSpeed flags when a VPN may be skewing your results, so a low number doesn't send you chasing the wrong problem. SHARE YOUR RESULT Export a clean result card and share it anywhere in one tap. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no login, no GPS access, no analytics SDK. Results are stored only on your device โ€” never uploaded or sold. Clear your history anytime from Insights. Speed tests run against Cloudflare's public test network. TrueSpeed is free and supported by ads, which are hidden while a test is actively running.
