Why does every speed test feel like an ad? Building a cleaner alternative β€” would love your input

Hey Hunters

I'm getting ready to launch Speed-Check soon and wanted to share the story behind it before the big day.

The problem that bugged me: Every time I ran a speed test, I'd get hit with autoplay video ads, "Boost your internet!" popups, sketchy download buttons, and a result page that felt more like a landing page than a measurement tool. For something as simple as "how fast is my connection?", the experience felt broken.
