Understanding your network info.
The Network Information API gives browsers access to estimated connection quality. The effective type reflects real-world performance and adapts dynamically — even if you're on a 5G plan, heavy congestion may result in an "effective" 3G rating.
RTT (Round Trip Time) directly impacts how responsive websites and apps feel. For video calls, aim for under 100ms. For gaming, under 50ms is ideal.
FAQ
Common questions.
Effective type (2g, 3g, 4g) is the browser's estimate of your network quality based on RTT and downlink speed. It reflects real-world performance rather than your plan tier.
RTT (Round Trip Time) is the time for a request to travel from your device to a server and back. Lower RTT means lower latency — important for gaming, video calls, and real-time apps.
Downlink is the estimated download bandwidth in Mbps. It's an approximation based on recent network activity, not a full speed test.
For a precise measurement, use Fast.com, Speedtest.net, or nperf.com which run actual data transfers to measure your upload and download speeds.
