It is necessary to have basic installation running sucessfully before reading this section.
Running SpeedCheck Pro
1. Commonly made mistake: You may have opened the file locally (not using web server). Please close the browser and open this page again, e.g. http://speedcheck.yourserver.com
2. Disable Anti-virus and/or Personal firewall because some of these products can cause delay especially on transferring large sample files. Please read FAQ for details.
3. Use proper sample size for your connection, for example transferring 0.07 MB on a 100 Mbps LAN may not always give you an accurate result because the sample size is too small. Here is the sample size recommendation:
Type of Connection |
Speed |
Sample size recommendation |
Dial-up 42K/56K |
42 Kbps - 56 Kbps both up/dn |
0.07 MB to 0.5 MB |
Cable/ADSL |
2-5 Mbps dn, 300 to 768 Kbps up |
3 MB to 15 MB |
T1 |
1.544 both up/dn |
2 MB to 15 MB |
10 Mbps |
10 Mbps both up/dn |
15 MB to 30 MB * |
100 Mbps |
100 Mbps both up/dn |
50 MB to 100 MB * |
* If you decide to use large sample size, make sure your server has enough memory and cpu power that meet the minimal requirements of SpeedCheck Pro.
