How this speed test works

The widget above downloads a small image from this website several times in a row, with browser caching disabled so every pass travels the full network path, and averages the throughput into a megabits-per-second estimate. Because everything stays between your browser and globexvpn.com, the test involves no third-party speed-test company, no upload of your data, and no stored results.

That design has an honest trade-off: a short test with a small file is a sanity check, not a laboratory benchmark. Your reading will bounce around between runs — that is normal for any speed test, and it is exactly why the most useful way to use this page is comparative: same device, same network, one measurement with your VPN off and one with it on.

What actually affects VPN speed

Every VPN adds some overhead: your traffic is encrypted and takes an extra hop through the VPN server before reaching the internet. How much that costs you depends on three things. First, distance — a server on another continent adds latency that no protocol can remove. Second, server load — a congested server is slow for everyone on it. Third, the protocol — on networks that interfere with VPN traffic, the "fastest" protocol on paper is often the one that stalls, and a censorship-resistant protocol that actually establishes cleanly ends up faster in practice.

That third point is where GLOBEX VPN focuses. The app connects over 8 protocols, including IKEv2, Shadowsocks, V2Ray/Reality, Hysteria2, and OpenVPN, and works through them automatically until one establishes and performs on your network — which matters most on restrictive networks that block ordinary VPN traffic. And one thing is true on every plan: the free tier has unlimited bandwidth with no speed cap tied to payment. Premium adds priority server access, not a faster engine. If your speeds look wrong, our FAQ covers common fixes, or you can browse server locations to pick a closer region.

Speed test — common questions

How accurate is this speed test?
It is a rough estimate, not a lab measurement. The widget downloads a small image from this website several times with caching disabled and averages the throughput. Dedicated speed-test services use large files and many parallel connections, so treat this reading as a quick sanity check rather than a definitive number.
Does this test send my data anywhere?
No. The test only downloads a static image from globexvpn.com itself. Nothing is uploaded, no third-party speed-test service is contacted, and no result is stored or transmitted.
Will a VPN make my internet slower?
Encryption and the extra hop to a VPN server add some overhead, so some slowdown is normal with any VPN. How much depends on the distance to the server, how loaded it is, and which protocol your network allows to run well. Running this test with the VPN off and then on shows you the difference on your own connection.
How does GLOBEX VPN keep connections fast?
GLOBEX connects over 8 protocols, including IKEv2, Shadowsocks, V2Ray/Reality, Hysteria2, and OpenVPN, and works through them automatically to find a connection that establishes and performs on your network. The free tier has no speed cap tied to payment — Premium adds priority server access rather than unlocking a faster engine.
