OceanHero vs. M-Lab Speed Test

Protecting our oceans can be as simple as your everyday internet browsing. With predictions indicating that by 2050 the ocean's plastic will outnumber its fish, our mission focuses on collecting plastic that threatens marine life while you navigate online. As you surf the web, gather virtual shells along the way; for every 100 shells you collect, we commit to removing one plastic bottle from the ocean. To support this endeavor, we feature a select number of sponsored links that enable us to work closely with local communities on plastic retrieval initiatives. Furthermore, we partner with organizations like PlasticBank to establish a global network aimed at collecting plastic waste effectively. The ads we display appear as small circles on your browser's homepage whenever a new tab is opened, ensuring they remain unobtrusive and do not interfere with your online experience. If you opt to use our search engine, you might also spot a few search ads at the top of the results, akin to what you typically encounter on other search platforms. By simply engaging in this act of browsing, you are playing a vital role in a broader mission to foster ocean cleanliness and advocate for sustainability. Your participation not only aids in creating a cleaner ocean but also raises awareness about the pressing issue of plastic pollution.

M-Lab's Speed Test provides detailed diagnostics of your broadband connection's performance through quick evaluations. Measurement Lab (M-Lab) features the largest collection of open Internet performance data globally. This initiative is a partnership among research institutions, industry experts, and public interest organizations, dedicated to promoting transparency and verifiable assessments of network performance on an international level. The tools offered are openly licensed, allowing third parties to develop their own client-side measurement applications and validate the original source. The information collected is available to the public at no cost, which encourages researchers and others to add to a communal database of network measurement findings. M-Lab's distributed infrastructure, along with a vast network of users, provides a platform that is both open and accountable for evaluating network performance on a global scale. This initiative plays a crucial role for public entities, academic researchers, regulators, and businesses across the world, enabling them to gain valuable insights into the overall health and efficiency of the Internet. Moreover, the collaborative efforts of M-Lab enhance the understanding of broadband performance and drive advancements in measurement methodologies. By fostering a shared approach, M-Lab not only enriches the data available but also encourages a culture of innovation in how we assess and interpret network performance.
