While you can evaluate your Internet Service by how often it buffers your streaming media, how long web pages take&nbsp;to load, or how long it takes&nbsp;to download email and pictures but these are arbitrary measurements&nbsp;which can&#8217;t be verified.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, buffering, download speed and web page loading times can all be signs of issues not related to your actual internet speed. In addition to internet speed, buffering can be caused by an overtaxed processor, lack of memory or storage space on your computer. Downloads and web page loading time can be caused by the same things as well as by a performance issue with your web server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>If you want to see if you are getting the performance your<br>Internet Service Provider is promising try one of these free services:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=speed+test\">Google &#8220;Speed&nbsp;Test&#8221;<\/a> then&nbsp;click the button that says &#8220;run speed test&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"645\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/computing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/google-speed.jpg\" alt=\"Google Speed Test\" class=\"wp-image-8683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/computing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/google-speed.jpg 645w, https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/computing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/google-speed-300x93.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 645px) 100vw, 645px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.speedtest.net\/\">Speedtest.net<\/a> by Ookla &#8211; The Global Broadband Speed Test<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"741\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/computing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/cox-speed.jpg\" alt=\"SpeedTest.Net\" class=\"wp-image-8682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/computing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/cox-speed.jpg 741w, https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/computing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/cox-speed-300x189.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.speakeasy.net\/speedtest\/\">SpeakEasy Speed Test<\/a> by MegaPath<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"717\" height=\"502\" src=\"https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/computing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/speakeasy.jpg\" alt=\"Speakeasy Speed Test\" class=\"wp-image-8681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/computing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/speakeasy.jpg 717w, https:\/\/purelysupp.com\/computing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/speakeasy-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever had one of those days when it seems like your internet connection is just too slow?
