Speed Testing in Speedify

This article explains how to run a speed test inside Speedify to check the performance of your individual connections and your combined connection, and how to understand the messages that may appear during testing.

Running a Speed Test

After connecting to one or more internet connections, open the Settings menu and tap Performance Tests. You'll see two options:

  • Start Total Speed Test - tests all of your active connections together, then shows your combined speed.
  • Start Single Speed Test - tests one individual connection through Speedify.

Note: The speed test uses a significant amount of data. If you're on a limited data plan or using a free Speedify plan, run it sparingly.


Understanding Speed Test Results

Sometimes Speedify doesn't include one or more of your connections in the speed test.

Here's why:

[Connection name] is set to Backup priority.

Your Backup connection isn't included in the test because Speedify is already using Primary or Secondary connections. When a connection's priority is set to Backup, Speedify only includes it in a combined test if no Primary or Secondary connections are available. Speedify never runs individual tests on Backup connections.

[Connection name] is over Daily/Monthly Limit.

This connection has hit its Daily or Monthly data limit, and Speedify is using Primary or Secondary connections instead. When a connection reaches its data limit, Speedify only includes it in the combined test if no Primary or Secondary connections are available.

[Connection name] is disabled.

A disabled connection won't appear in the speed test. To include it, you'll need to enable it first. See Connection Settings for instructions.

Can't connect to [Connection name].

Speedify couldn't establish a connection to this network, so it was left out of the test. Check that the connection is active and reachable on your device.
