How to test DigitalOcean speed and ping now?

Posted on July 27, 2023

The DO regional speedtest pages don’t seem to be available anymore. How can I test speed and latency of DO regions now before creating droplets?

Hey @05d1526582394cfba7056c64b87499,

You can’t test the speed before creating the Droplet however Droplets are created in less than a minute and I do not think there is a limit on how many you can create and destroy right away.

As such, you can try creating a Droplet in all regions and perform the tests. Having them online for 5 minutes shouldn’t accumulate any big usage.

Hope that helps!

Can confirm the previous DO speedtest links I used no longer work. Sad.
