The domain speedtest.net has been used to host a speed test since 2000, and was acquired by Ookla in 2006. [12] As of 2011, Ookla claimed 80% market share and was one of the top 1000 most popular websites. At the time, Ookla derived its revenue primarily from fees paid by companies to license custom speed test and proprietary testing software.

A browser speed test is a computer benchmark that scores the performance of a web browser, by measuring the browser's efficiency in completing a predefined list of tasks.In general the testing software is available online, located on a website, where different algorithms are loaded and performed in the browser client.
In terms of judging a person's speed, the best method of timing is through lasers which start and stop the times when passed through. A laser start (from a stationary position) is more accurate for measuring pure speed as it does not register a runner's reaction time, however, this method of timing a 40-yard dash can affect the accuracy by as much as 0.5 seconds with the manual stopwatch method.

TBUT is the time interval between the last blink and appearance of the first randomly-distributed dry spot. [2] If the patient blinks before 10 seconds have elapsed, the test must be restarted. Taking two or more measurements and calculating its average may give a greater accuracy of measurement of TBUT.
In the popular essay "Brain Time", David Eagleman explains that different types of sensory information (auditory, tactile, visual, etc.) are processed at different speeds by different neural architectures. The brain must learn how to overcome these speed disparities if it is to create a temporally unified representation of the external world:
Gatso speed camera. Speed limits are enforced on most public roadways by authorities, with the purpose to improve driver compliance with speed limits.Methods used include roadside speed traps set up and operated by the police and automated roadside "speed camera" systems, which may incorporate the use of an automatic number plate recognition system.
