It also includes your internet connection ping and RPM, which are two different ways of measuring latency.

By default, tests are run in parallel to better reflect real-world situations. You can change this in the settings.

The app also comes with support for Shortcuts.

You can view the history of results over time, add a note to entries, and export to CSV or JSON.


■ FAQ

‣ How does it compare to Speedtest by Ookla?

The Speedtest app uses a nearby server, which means the speed does not actually reflect real-world usage — it shows the most optimal scenario. Its requests are also often prioritized by ISPs, which skews the numbers even more. Speediness also looks more like a proper macOS app and it has support for Shortcuts.

‣ How does it compare to fast.com?

The problem with fast.com is that it's run by Netflix, and Netflix's servers are often prioritized (and sometimes throttled), meaning you won't always get a realistic value. It pretty much gives you your speed for watching Netflix.
