Measuring what matters
At akixa, we are on a mission to make internet performance measurement accessible to everyone. We believe in a world where people can make informed decisions about their internet connections through accurate, easy-to-understand data.
akixa was founded in 2023 by a team of network engineers and data scientists who were frustrated with the complexity and inaccuracy of existing speed testing tools.
Having worked for major ISPs and tech companies, our founders saw firsthand how confusing internet performance metrics could be for everyday users. They set out to create a tool that could provide clear, accurate measurements without the technical barriers.
QuickMetrics was born from this vision – a simple yet powerful platform that helps users understand their internet performance in real-time. Since our launch, we've helped millions of users across the globe gain insights into their internet connections.
We prioritize precise measurements over flashy features. Our testing algorithms are continuously refined for the most accurate results possible.
We believe users deserve to know exactly how their internet performance is measured. Our methodology is open and we explain our results in plain language.
Your data belongs to you. We collect only what's necessary to provide our service, and we never sell personal information to third parties.
The internet is for everyone, and so are our tools. We design with accessibility in mind, ensuring our platform works for users of all abilities.
