Editorial policy
How we write and check our guides, and how to tell us when we get something wrong.
Last updated
Our standards
- Useful first. Each guide exists to answer a real question people have about their connection. We do not publish pages just to target search terms.
- Accurate and sourced. Specific figures, such as recommended speeds or technical definitions, are checked against primary sources: the service's own help pages, standards documents such as IETF RFCs and ITU-T recommendations, or official regulator publications. Sources are listed at the end of each guide.
- Clear about opinion. Where we give our own rules of thumb, for example for "good" gaming latency, we say so.
- Original. Our guides are written for SpeedCheckWeb and are not copied from other sites.
- Plain language. We avoid jargon, or explain it when we must use it.
How guides are produced
Guides may be drafted with the help of AI writing tools. Before publication, each guide is checked against the sources listed at its end, edited for clarity, and checked for consistency with how our speed test actually works. We do not publish automatically generated pages in bulk.
Independence
Advertisers and companies mentioned in our guides have no say in what we write or how we measure. We do not accept payment for coverage. If that ever changes for a specific page, we will label it clearly.
Updates and corrections
We review guides regularly and update them when sources change. Each guide shows when it was published and, if changed, when it was last updated. If you find an error, email contact@speedcheckweb.com with the page address and, ideally, a source. We correct confirmed factual errors promptly.
