Testing Your Network Connection

Slow or congested network connections can affect page load times, upload/download speeds, and syncing.

2. Click on the single “Test” option at the end of the "VPOP" line in the POPs section.
3. Note: The 1M file size is fine for standard use but please flip to 10M size when diagnosing a performance issue with a high-speed connection. Optionally: You may click the single "Test" option on the line VPOP more than once to see if it increases on a second or third test.
