How to check internet speed

I have High Sierra Macbook Air and wireless through Century Link. I want to check my speed and then add my Airport Extreme and check my speed again. Do I have to purchase an app to do that? If not, how do I check my speeds? Thank you for an help.

iBookG4, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

There are plenty of free webpage based tests. I personally use Speedtest.net from Ookla. When I started off I was using DSLReports, which has a large suite of various web based tests. Speedtest also has free applications available in the iOS or Mac App Store.


If you do this it's better to make sure nothing else is accessing your internet.
