Shadow Internet Speed Test
WiFi & 5G 4G LTE Accurate Test
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Most speed tests give you one quick number. Shadow runs the full experiment.
Shadow Internet Speed Test measures your connection the way an engineer would: three independent 11-second passes in each direction, on fresh connections, with the TCP ramp-up discarded — then reports the median. One unlucky (or lucky) run never decides your result, and a consistency score tells you exactly how stable your connection was.
ACCURACY FIRST
• 3 full download passes + 3 full upload passes, median reported
• Multiple parallel streams saturate the line the whole time
• First 2 seconds of every pass excluded (TCP ramp-up)
• 12-sample ping with real jitter measurement
• Consistency score (±%) so you know how trustworthy the result is
• Tests run against Cloudflare's global edge network
SLEEK & FOCUSED
• Beautiful dark interface with a live speedometer
• Deterministic progress bar and countdown — it never jumps around
• Wi-Fi or Cellular, ISP and test-server info at a glance
• Full test history saved on your device
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No ads. No trackers. No analytics.
• Your results never leave your phone.
