   1. You can test just your upload or download speed by clicking one instead.

3. Select how long you want to test your internet by clicking on Every. For example, you can set it to check your internet speed every 30 minutes.

   1. If you set the time to less than 10 minutes the site will ask you to sign up.
   2. Make sure pop-ups are not blocked or the test will be unable to refresh.

4. Select how often you want the test to repeat by clicking on 12 Times. For instance, you can set it to repeat 5 times a day.

5. Click on the Start Automatic Test button to begin testing your speed. You can still browse normally on a different tab if you'd like or you can minimize the window and come back.

   1. Your information is not automatically saved unless you create an account. For longer tests, you cannot turn off your computer even if you create an account.
   2. If you plan on doing a test longer than a day it is recommended that you create an account in case of disconnection issues.
   3. You can end the test early at any time by clicking the End Test/Escape button at the top.

6. Click on the View Results button to see how your internet speed changed. The graph will average out your speed and display changes over time.
