# Perform a speed test

You can perform a speed test to retrieve performance data about your Sitecore Content Hub solution.

> [!important]
> The test may take several minutes to finish.

To perform a speed test:

1. On the menu bar, click **Profile and settings** :mdiAccountCircle: and then click **Profile** :mdiAccountCircle:.
2. On your profile page, click **More actions** :mdiDotsHorizontal: and then click **Speed test** :mdiSpeedometer:.
3. In the **Speed test** dialog, click **Start**.

The speed test dashboard displays the results of three tests:

- **Ping** - Latency in the system, meaning the time it took to reach the portal and the delivery network. The lower the better.
- **Download** - The speed at which data was downloaded from the portal and the delivery network. The higher the better.
- **Upload** - The speed at which data was uploaded to the portal. The higher the better.

> [!note]
> When the test ends, you can perform it again without closing the dialog box by clicking the **Restart** button.
