Netpital: Internet Health
The lag your speed test misses
$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Netpital scores your connection 0–100 by measuring the bufferbloat and lag under load that speed tests skip. New: run a check right from your Apple Watch.
Your internet can score 500 Mbps on a speed test and still stutter on video calls. Netpital tells you why.
Speed alone lies. A download number tells you how big your pipe is — not what happens when your whole household piles onto it at once. Whether you're on fiber, cable, or 5G, most connections feel slow not because they lack bandwidth, but because latency explodes the moment the line gets busy. That's bufferbloat, and ordinary speed tests never see it.
Netpital runs a complete internet health check and turns the results into one honest number.
WHAT YOU GET
• Health Score (0–100) — a single score that reflects how your connection actually feels in real use
• Plain-language verdict — Excellent, Good, Fair, or Poor, plus what it means for gaming, video calls, and streaming
• Bufferbloat & latency under load — see exactly how far your ping degrades while the line is busy downloading and uploading
• Jitter — how stable your connection is from one moment to the next
• Download & upload speed — real transfers over a global server network
• Trends — track your connection's health over days and weeks and catch degradation before it ruins movie night
• Deep diagnostics — dedicated tools for bufferbloat, stability, DNS, and server latency, with practical fixes: router QoS, Wi-Fi interference, ISP routing
HOW WE MEASURE
First, Netpital measures your idle latency — how fast your connection responds when nothing else is happening. Then it saturates the line with real downloads and uploads and measures latency again, under load. The difference between those two numbers is bufferbloat: the hidden lag that freezes your call the moment someone else starts streaming. Every result you see was actually measured this way — anything we can only estimate is labeled as an estimate.
WHO IT'S FOR
• Gamers chasing the lag spike that ruins ranked matches
• Remote workers whose calls freeze while a speed test says everything is fine
• Anyone who wants to check that their ISP actually delivers what they pay for
• Tinkerers benchmarking a new router, mesh system, or QoS setting

Bufferbloat now shows right on the Check screen, along with when and on which network each result was measured. Full right-to-left layouts for Arabic and Hebrew, correct plural grammar across languages, and numbers in your local format. Respects Reduce Motion and works better with VoiceOver.
