Speed Test #1 – SpeedTest by Oookla
Ookla Speed Tests are used by millions each day to collect information about the performance and quality of networks.

Speed Test #2 – FAST.com
Netflix launched its own Speed Test Site in 2016 and called it Fast.com.
The main aim here is to focus on download speed, which is the important metric that determines Netflix’s user’s video quality.

In other words, you can try out different countries servers to suit your speed preferences.
