What's probably going on
Causes are ranked by probability from your readings — they're informed hypotheses, not certainties.

Four steps, one report
- 1
Run the full panel
Download, upload, ping, jitter, packet loss, bufferbloat and DNS — measured in one guided pass.
- 2
Plain-language verdict
What your line is great at, and where it struggles — in words, not just numbers.
- 3
Likely causes
The probable culprits, ranked: bufferbloat, a crowded Wi-Fi channel, a router without SQM, your ISP.
- 4
What to fix
Prioritised, practical steps — from a free setting to a smart upgrade, mapped to your result.
Multi-server measurement
We test against several endpoints and report stability, not a single lucky burst.
Honest about limits
Results vary with device, Wi-Fi and time of day. The Doctor gives probable causes — never guarantees.
The tools behind the diagnosis
Prefer to dig into one metric at a time? Each test in the panel is also a standalone tool.

Common questions
How long does a full diagnosis take?
About 30–60 seconds. The Doctor runs the whole panel in one pass, then writes the report — you don't have to start each test by hand.
Is the diagnosis accurate?
We report ranges and stability rather than a single lucky burst, and we measure against multiple endpoints. Results still depend on your device, Wi-Fi and the time of day — see our measurement method for the limits.
Do I need an account or an install?
No. The check-up runs in your browser. Saving or sharing a report over time is a planned premium feature.
Why does my speed test look fine but calls and games stutter?
Because the headline number isn't the whole story. Latency under load (bufferbloat), jitter and packet loss are what break calls and competitive gaming — and they're exactly what the Doctor checks.
