We compared Speedtest ★★★☆☆ with nPerf ★★★☆☆ and concluded that the differences are so small that it's up to you to decide.
The radar chart above is based on the results of our standardized speed test test. The results speak for themselves.
Strengths of Speedtest
The Ookla Speedtest is a well known speed test. A lot of ISPs recommend the use of Speedtest. Hence, we categorize Speedtest as the gold standard for speed tests.
In 2023 we tested Google versus Bing. We then came to the following conclusion: More than half of the links in results pages of the search engines Google and Bing structurally refer to Ookla-based speed tests/pages. We therefore assume that everyone is familiar with the Ookla Speedtest.
The Ookla Speedtest has many clones. There are too many to list. We have a special page for Ookla clones.
The Ookla Speedtest is popular because it was one of the first accurate speed tests. Speedtest is one of the few speed tests with an accuracy score of 100 (out of 100).
Another strength of Ookla is the information provision. The progress of the test is clearly displayed and in addition to download, upload, ping and jitter are also measured.
Strengths of nPerf
nPerf is ad-free, informative and gives you the option to create a Custom web app (Example)
Our recommendation
Based on what we know about speed tests, if we had to choose between these two speed tests, we would call it a draw. The differences are so small that it's up to you to decide.
