Benchmark

This tab will allow you to see CyberOptimizer perform some relative speed tests on your connection. It should be noted that the results of these tests could be affected by a number of factors including your connection, your ISP's backbone connection, Internet traffic and the performance of the servers containing the documents for the tests. As such, this should be viewed as a relative test of current speed performance.
