ScanPing: Accurate, Ad-Free Internet Speed Test Powered by Cloudflare (2025 Edition)
In 2025, with streaming, gaming, and remote work demanding flawless connections, unreliable speed tests can mislead you about your ISP performance. Enter ScanPing.net – a free, open-web tool built with Next.js on Vercel, leveraging Cloudflare's official SpeedTest library for precise, real-world measurements.
Why ScanPing Beats the Competition
Unlike ad-heavy giants like Ookla Speedtest.net (CNET's top pick but cluttered) or simple tools like Fast.com (Netflix-only download focus), ScanPing delivers:
- Download/Upload Speeds: Progressive ramp-up testing (small to large files) for true sustained bandwidth – up to 10Gbps+ support.
- Ping & Jitter: Critical for gaming (under 20ms ideal) and calls – excludes connection setup for accuracy.
- Live Results: Real-time graphs, IP geolocation (via ipapi.co), no data collection.
- No Ads, No Apps: Pure HTML5/JS – works on desktop, mobile, TVs. 100 Lighthouse score (FCP 0.2s, LCP 0.4s).
- Cloudflare Edge: Global servers (200+ cities) minimize distance bias – more accurate than regional tests (e.g., OpenSpeedTest or nPerf).
From recent benchmarks (CNET Aug 2025, Pixelscan Sep 2025):
- Ookla: Comprehensive but ads/slow on mobile.
- Fast.com: Quick download-only, no jitter.
- Cloudflare Official: Excellent baseline – ScanPing uses its exact engine + UI polish.
- LibreSpeed/OpenSpeedTest: Self-hostable but less accurate without edge network.
ScanPing fixes these: Ad-free like TestMy.net/SpeedOf.Me, jitter like Meteor by OpenSignal, browser-native like SpeedSmart.
Real-User Results & Validation
- Test Example: On 100Mbps fiber – Download: 95.2 Mbps (11.9 MB/s), Upload: 45.7 Mbps, Ping: 12ms, Jitter: 2ms (gaming-ready).
- Global Reach: 4.8K DNS queries/24h (Cloudflare Analytics) from Amsterdam (1.6K), San Jose (630), Frankfurt (390) – early traction via Reddit r/SideProject shares.
- Lighthouse 100/100: 0.4s LCP, 0 CLS – faster than 95% of sites.
"Finally, a clean speed test that matches Cloudflare's accuracy without the plain UI." – Early tester (X/Reddit, Dec 2025)
