The Trusted Internet Speed Monitor for Windows 10 & Windows 11
We're on a mission to help millions of Windows users understand, monitor, and optimize their internet connection—one taskbar widget at a time.
Net Speed Meter was born from a simple frustration: Why is it so hard to know your actual internet speed on Windows?
Back in 2020, we noticed something missing from the Windows ecosystem. While macOS and Linux users had elegant solutions for monitoring network traffic, Windows users were stuck with clunky, resource-heavy applications or browser-based speed tests that only showed snapshots—not real-time data.
We set out to build something different: a lightweight, accurate, and privacy-respecting internet speed monitor that lives quietly in your taskbar, ready whenever you need it.
What started as a personal project quickly resonated with users worldwide. Today, Net Speed Meter has been downloaded over 1.2 million times from the Microsoft Store, serving users across more than 190 countries—from students in São Paulo to IT professionals in Singapore, gamers in Germany to remote workers in the United States.
"We believe everyone deserves to know exactly what their internet connection is doing—without complexity, without cost, and without compromising privacy."
Empowering Windows users with transparent, real-time insights into their internet connectivity.
To provide every Windows user with a free, lightweight, and accurate tool for monitoring internet speed—helping them diagnose issues, verify ISP performance, and optimize their online experience.
To become the most trusted network monitoring solution for Windows users globally, setting the standard for simplicity, accuracy, and user privacy in utility software.
Software should solve problems without creating new ones. That's why Net Speed Meter is designed to be invisible until you need it—no bloat, no distractions, just reliable data at your fingertips.
Every decision we make is guided by these core principles.
Net Speed Meter operates 100% offline. We never collect, store, or transmit any user data. Your network activity stays on your device—period. No analytics, no tracking, no exceptions.
We're relentless about keeping Net Speed Meter lightweight. Using less than 1% CPU and under 15MB RAM, our app is designed to monitor your system without burdening it.
We read data directly from your network adapter, providing real-time accuracy within 0.1 seconds. No estimates, no approximations—just precise measurements you can trust.
From high-speed fiber connections in Tokyo to mobile hotspots in rural Africa, Net Speed Meter works everywhere. Our interface supports multiple languages and adapts to any network environment.
Core functionality will always be free. We believe essential tools for understanding your internet connection shouldn't be locked behind paywalls. Net Speed Meter Plus exists for power users who want extra features—not as a requirement.
Distributed exclusively through the official Microsoft Store, Net Speed Meter undergoes security verification and automatic updates. You can trust the source and always have the latest version.
