Google Speed Test alternative — try NetStartr
When you Google "speed test", Google embeds a basic NDT-based test right in the search results. It's fine for a quick check, but it doesn't score stability, doesn't compare against your plan, and it doesn't save your history. NetStartr does all three.
| Feature | NetStartr | Google Speed Test |

| Mobile-friendly | Yes | Yes |
Bottom line
Google's in-SERP speed test is the easiest single-click option — but if you actually care about why your connection is bad and what to do about it, NetStartr is a strict superset.
