Upload speed test

Upload speed controls how well your connection sends video, voice, files, livestreams, and remote-work data. Low upload is one of the most common reasons calls look blurry or unstable.

Test if your internet is actually good enough

Run a quick browser-based diagnostic for calls, gaming, streaming, VPN, and remote work. Verdicts appear before raw technical numbers.

Measured from your browser to the nearest Cloudflare server with Cloudflare’s open-source speed test engine, so results reflect your connection to Cloudflare, not every site you use. Uses roughly 20–190 MB of data, more on faster connections, so use Wi-Fi if you are on a metered plan. Results are not sent back to Cloudflare. How we measure

Frequently asked questions

What is a good upload speed?

For HD calls, aim for at least 3 Mbps upload. Livestreaming, cloud backups, and multiple users may need much more.

Why is upload speed lower than download?

Many broadband plans are asymmetric, meaning download capacity is much higher than upload capacity.

How can I improve upload speed?

Pause cloud backups, stop large uploads, use Ethernet, upgrade your plan, or switch providers if upload remains low.
