Test your website speed from 8 regions at once
Enter a URL and we load it simultaneously from Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, Sydney, Virginia, Oregon, Frankfurt and London. See where your site is fast, where it is slow, and why — in about 30 seconds.
- Free, no sign-up
- All 8 regions in parallel
- First & repeat visit

One URL, eight real browsers, one clear answer
Single-location tools only tell you how fast your site is for people near that one server. We test from every major internet hub at the same moment.
Enter your URL
Paste any public page — homepage, product page or blog post. No account, no install.
8 regions load it in parallel
Probe servers on AWS open the page in headless Chromium twice: a cold first visit and a cached repeat visit. We record DNS, TCP, TLS, TTFB, load time, bytes and files.
Read the map and the grade
Each region turns green to red on the world map. You get an A+ to F grade, a regional breakdown and the fixes that matter most.
8 regions that cover most of the world's internet traffic
Each probe runs in an AWS data center next to a major internet exchange, so the numbers match what real visitors in that part of the world experience.

The fastest websites this month
Sites opt in when they run a test. To keep the ranking honest, only real, finished websites qualify — empty pages are fast but prove nothing. The board starts fresh on the 1st of every month (UTC): this month.

What the A+ to F grade means
A site earns the highest grade whose limits it meets in every column. "Origin" is the region with the fastest TTFB — usually the one closest to your server.
| Grade | Score | Origin TTFB / load | Average TTFB / load | Worst TTFB / load | Repeat visit faster |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A+ | 90–100 | ≤ 200 ms / ≤ 1.5 s | ≤ 800 ms / ≤ 2.5 s | ≤ 1.5 s / ≤ 3 s | ≥ 80% of regions |
| A | 80–89 | ≤ 400 ms / ≤ 2.5 s | ≤ 1.2 s / ≤ 3.5 s | ≤ 2 s / ≤ 4 s | ≥ 60% |
| B | 70–79 | ≤ 800 ms / ≤ 3.5 s | ≤ 1.6 s / ≤ 4.5 s | ≤ 2.5 s / ≤ 5.5 s | ≥ 50% |
| C | 60–69 | ≤ 1.2 s / ≤ 4.5 s | ≤ 2 s / ≤ 5.5 s | ≤ 3 s / ≤ 6.5 s | ≥ 37.5% |

How to make your website faster
Practical, tested advice for each part of the timeline our test measures — from DNS and TTFB to images and caching.
How to reduce TTFB (time to first byte): causes, targets and fixes that work
Reduce TTFB by caching HTML at the edge, fixing slow database queries, removing redirects and moving content closer to users. Targets, causes and configs.
What a CDN is and how it makes your website fast worldwide
A CDN serves files and cached HTML from edge servers near each visitor. Learn cache hits, keys, TTLs, purging and headers, and how a CDN cuts far-region TTFB.
Image optimization for web performance: AVIF, WebP, responsive images and lazy loading
Image optimization guide: pick AVIF or WebP, set quality, serve responsive images with srcset, prevent CLS, lazy-load correctly and prioritize the LCP image.
Frequently asked questions
What is a global website speed test?
A global website speed test loads your page from several locations around the world and compares the results. Global Website Speed Test uses 8 probe servers on AWS (Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, Sydney, Virginia, Oregon, Frankfurt and London) that open your URL in a real Chromium browser at the same time and record time to first byte (TTFB), full load time, transferred bytes and file count.
How long does a test take?
Most tests finish in 20 to 60 seconds. All 8 regions run in parallel, and each region loads the page twice: once with an empty cache (first visit) and once with a warm cache (repeat visit). Very heavy pages can take up to two minutes.
What is a good TTFB and load time?
From the region closest to your server, a TTFB under 200 ms and a load time under 1.5 seconds is excellent (A+ territory). Averaged over all 8 regions, aim for a TTFB under 800 ms and a load time under 2.5 seconds. Regions on other continents are always slower because of physical distance, which is why a CDN matters.
Why is my website slow in some countries but fast in others?
Every request has to travel to your origin server and back. A server in Virginia answers London in roughly 75 ms of round-trip time but Seoul in about 180 ms, and loading a page takes several round trips (DNS, TCP, TLS, HTML, then CSS, JS and images). Serving static files and cached HTML from a CDN close to visitors removes most of that distance.
How is the A+ to F grade calculated?
The grade combines seven checks: origin TTFB and load time (fastest region), average TTFB and load time across all regions, worst-region TTFB and load time, and the share of regions where the repeat visit is faster than the first. A site gets the highest grade whose thresholds it meets in every check. The full table is on the methodology page.
How do I get my site on the leaderboard?
Tick the leaderboard box before you run a test (or press Add to leaderboard on the result). Your site is listed only if at least 6 of the 8 regions succeed and the first visit transfers at least 10 files and 100 KB, so empty or placeholder pages cannot top the ranking. The board resets on the 1st of every month (UTC) and shows the top 200; within a month each site keeps its most recent qualifying result.
Is the speed test free? Do I need an account?
Yes, it is completely free and needs no sign-up. To keep the probes available for everyone, each IP address can start up to 20 tests per hour.
