Google Accelerator Skewing Testmy.net Results BIG TIME


Recommended Posts

Heads up:

The Google Accelerator is either skewing the results at testmy.net, or else Earthlink uncapped my 768 DL DSL line in a big way (doubtful)....

This will probably screw up the average statistics...

Google caches pages. The speed test may be also be cached.

I am contacting Google about this to see if they can give me any insite as to how their program works... so I can write my script around the problem.

Maybe they can add testmy.net to a don't cahce list or something.

Thanks for the welcome :D

I did a few more tests and they are all about the same..

I fully realize that the Google Accelerator is providing an inaccurate result, I'm just letting you guys know it's happening. The uploads aren't as drastic, but they are off as well. Adding it to the exclusion list should fix it I think...I love the site - Thanks for the excellent service !  :D

Cool, I added a notice for now on the download test page letting people know how to disable it for this site.  Hopefully whne Google gets back to me they can tell me a more automated way to get this done :)
