Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What Speedtest by Ookla does

Speedtest by Ookla measures connection bandwidth and latency against a large network of hosted test servers, through its website and mobile apps. It is the reference people reach for when a connection feels slow, and internet providers and businesses cite its results, which makes its own availability oddly consequential during a broadband fault.

What an outage looks like

The test page loads but stalls while selecting a server, or the test starts and never reports a result. Apps report that no test server could be found. Because people open Speedtest precisely when their connection is misbehaving, a failed test is ambiguous by nature: it may be the service or the connection under test.

What to do about it

Try a second measurement tool before concluding anything, since a failed Speedtest during a suspected broadband fault tells you very little on its own. Check status.ookla.com to separate the two, and try selecting a different test server by hand. If other sites load normally while Speedtest alone fails, the connection is working.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says Speedtest by Ookla is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 17 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

Speedtest by Ookla outage FAQ

Speedtest will not load. Is my internet down?
Not necessarily, and this is the hardest case to read. If other websites load, the connection is up and the fault lies with Speedtest or the nearest test server. If nothing loads, the connection is the problem and Speedtest failing is a symptom rather than the cause. Test a second site first.
Why can Speedtest fail while everything else works?
The test depends on a nearby hosted server, and those are run by many different operators rather than by Ookla alone. When the server your client selects is offline or overloaded, the test fails even though the wider service is healthy. Choosing a different server by hand often gets a result.
Is a slow result an outage?
No, and the distinction matters. A completed test showing poor throughput is a measurement of your connection, which means the service worked correctly. An outage means the test cannot run at all. A slow number belongs in a conversation with your internet provider rather than in a report to Ookla.
Does an Ookla outage affect my provider's own speed test?
It depends on what they run. Many providers host independent test tools on separate infrastructure, which keep working. Others use a licensed Ookla platform under their own branding, and those can be affected by the same incident. If the provider's tool works while speedtest.net does not, it is running independently.

How we measure this

  • We request Speedtest by Ookla's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them.
  • A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
  • A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
  • Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
  • Where Speedtest by Ookla publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
