One method to check your Internet speed is to use a web-based app, like SpeedTest. Please understand that these test provide a good approximation, but are never 100% accurate.
For testing your current wireless speed, you can start by determining what your Mac "thinks" its instantaneous link speed is. To do so, hold down the option key, and then, click on the Wi-Fi icon on the macOS menu bar. On the drop-down menu that appears, look at the value for Tx Rate. This value is what the Mac thinks is its current maximum data rate for the wireless connection. However, it does not present the actual data rate which will vary with time. This rate is dependent on both the wireless signal quality and any form of Wi-Fi interference in the area that can impede the signal.
To get more details about the wireless connection you may want to utilize your Mac's built in Wireless Diagnostics app. This app is located at: /System/Library/CoreServices/Applications
