Want to know how fast your internet is? Here’s how to quickly use the built-in option to perform an internet speed test in Windows 11.
Have you ever wondered how fast your internet is or if you are getting the advertised speed? For example, maybe your ISP promised 100 Mbps speed, and you want to verify that you are actually getting that speed. Or maybe you changed a few router settings and want to check how it affects your internet speed. Whatever the reason, if you ever need to, you can use the built-in option in Windows 11 to quickly perform an internet speed test. It is pretty simple to do. In this quick and easy guide, I will show you how to do it. Let’s get started.
Run Speed Test in Windows 11 Using Taskbar Options
First, right-click on the Network icon on the taskbar’s system tray and select the “Perform speed test” button.
The above action opens the Bing page in your default browser. Click the “Start” button to speed test.
It will immediately run a speed test and show the results for Ping, Download Speed, and Upload Speed. If you want, you can click the “rerun” button to run the internet speed test again.
Use Fast.com to Run Internet Speed Test
As an alternative, you can also use fast.com (by Netflix) to run a speed test. The best thing is, you don’t have to click anything, simply visiting the website runs the speed test. To do that, type “fast.com” in your browser’s address bar and press Enter. As soon as your webpage loads, it runs the speed test immediately and shows you your Download speed.
Clicking the “Show more info” button shows the latency and Upload speed.
That is all. It is that simple to perform an internet speed test in Windows 11. If you have any questions or need help, comment below. I’ll be happy to assist.
