Connection Speed Test — Measure Your Speed on Tor

Test your internet connection speed. Compare your regular speed with Tor speed to see the anonymity overhead. Download and upload measurement.

Connection Speed Test

Measure your download speed and latency by fetching resources from a CDN. Compare your results with typical Tor speeds.

About Tor Speed

Tor routes your traffic through three relays (guard, middle, and exit), encrypting it at each hop. This multi-hop architecture inherently adds latency and reduces throughput compared to a direct connection.

Typical Tor speeds: 1–5 Mbps download, 200–600ms latency. This is normal and expected. Speeds vary based on relay capacity and network congestion.

VPN speeds: Usually 60–90% of your regular connection speed, depending on server distance and protocol used. Much faster than Tor but with less anonymity.

If you are using Tor and see speeds significantly higher than 5 Mbps, your traffic may not actually be routed through the Tor network. Verify your connection at check.torproject.org.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Tor so much slower than my regular connection?+
Tor routes traffic through at least three relays across the world, adding latency at each hop. Relay bandwidth is also limited and shared among all users on that relay.
What is a normal speed on Tor?+
Tor typically delivers 1-10 Mbps, depending on the circuit. This is enough for browsing and text but can be slow for large downloads or streaming.
How can I make Tor faster?+
Request a new circuit (Ctrl+Shift+L in Tor Browser), avoid peak hours, use bridges if your connection is throttled, and close unnecessary tabs to reduce relay load.
