Ookla is the definitive source for global connectivity performance measurement.
Ookla® is made up of a group of people who are inspired by possibility. From inception, Ookla’s mission has been centered on improving connectivity and customer network experience through industry-leading data, tools, and insights that transparently answer the questions at the heart of telecommunications. But our identity is about more than what we build. We believe that achieving great things starts with fostering a workplace that puts people first, from our employees to the end users of the networks for which we advocate. Ookla started with Speedtest®. We’ll always care deeply about speed and making connectivity faster, but that’s just the start of what we have to offer. Our work touches every group that cares about improving network connectivity and, most importantly, the customer network experience. This includes consumers seeking actionable information about their personal connections; operators seeking to measure, optimize, and publicize their networks; governments and regulatory bodies mapping network availability for their constituents and promoting policy that improves access; non-profits, NGOs, and other humanitarian organizations striving to close the digital divide; and many more. When you work at Ookla, you have the unique opportunity to work with our world-renowned Speedtest and Downdetector® platforms, along with a growing suite of end-to-end enterprise solutions that collectively serve hundreds of millions of users worldwide.
