PacketPuffin

About this app

PacketPuffin is a fast, beautiful internet speed test that respects your privacy. No accounts. No tracking. No ads. Your results stay on your device. Tap once and see exactly what your connection is doing — download and upload speeds, ping, and jitter — with a clear read on whether it's fast enough for 4K streaming, video calls, and gaming. WHY PACKETPUFFIN - Truly private — no sign-up, no analytics, no data collection. Results are stored only on your device, and you can delete them anytime. - Honest results — real measurements built to handle everything from slow cellular to multi-gigabit Wi-Fi. - Beautiful and simple — a clean, modern design that makes your network easy to understand. MORE THAN JUST SPEED Every test also checks the health of your connection: - Router latency — how fast your own router responds - Internet latency — round-trip time to the wider internet - DNS lookup — how quickly names resolve - Packet loss — the dropped packets behind stutters and lag NETWORK TOOLS (PacketPuffin Pro) Go deeper with tools usually reserved for desktop apps: - Wi-Fi Scanner — see every device on your network, with names and makers, so you can spot anything that shouldn't be there - DNS Benchmark — find the fastest DNS resolver for where you are - Ping & Bufferbloat tests — measure latency under load, the thing that actually ruins calls and games - Full history and trends — track your speed over time and catch problems before they cost you PRIVATE BY DESIGN Most speed tests upload your results to a server and build a profile around your IP address. PacketPuffin doesn't. Your results are never uploaded — each test is written to your device and nowhere else, and you can delete them anytime. Tests work by exchanging meaningless random data with PacketPuffin's own test endpoints, which count the bytes and throw them away. No account, no analytics, no profile.

This update is all fixes, mostly for connections that aren't fast. Upload results on slow connections On a slow cellular link the upload test could stall and give up with "the upload test couldn't complete", even though the connection was working fine. Uploads are now measured in a way that holds up at any speed, so you get a real number instead of an error. The VPN label The connection chip could show "VPN" on an ordinary cellular connection when no VPN was running at all. It now appears only when your traffic is genuinely going through a tunnel. It also catches VPNs running over cellular, which it used to miss entirely. Bufferbloat test The bufferbloat tool had stopped reaching the test server and reported an error every time. It works again, and it now measures latency over a separate connection from the one carrying the load, which makes the result more trustworthy. As always: no ads, no accounts, no tracking, and your results never leave your device.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
