Which Global Regions and Connection Types Can I Test From on Enterramon?

Updated

Enterramon lets you run a website speed test from 5 global regions and 6 connection profiles, so you can see how your site performs for visitors in different locations and on different networks. You pick one region and one connection type per test, then run it to get load times, Core Web Vitals, and an overall health score for that specific combination.

The 5 Test Regions

Each test runs from a real server location, so the results reflect the network distance and routing a visitor in that area would experience.

Region Location
Cape Town South Africa (ZA)
Frankfurt Germany (DE)
Singapore Singapore (SG)
St. Louis United States (USA)
Sydney Australia (AUS)

If your audience is concentrated in one country, start there. If you serve a global audience, run the same URL from several regions and compare — a site that loads fast from Frankfurt may still be slow from Sydney or St. Louis.

The 6 Connection Types

After choosing a region, you choose how the connection is simulated:

  • 4G/LTE Mobile — simulates a typical 4G mobile connection
  • 5G Mobile — simulates a high-speed 5G mobile connection
  • Basic Broadband (20 Mbps) — entry-level home broadband
  • Standard Broadband (50 Mbps) — typical home broadband connection
  • Fast Broadband (100 Mbps) — premium home broadband
  • No Throttling (Native) — uses the raw server connection speed

The throttled options matter because they show what real users on slower connections actually wait for. A page that feels instant on native speed can still take several seconds on 4G/LTE. Testing both ends of the range tells you whether your bottleneck is your server, your page weight, or the user's network.

Why the Combination Matters

Region and connection type answer two different questions:

  • Region tells you how distance and routing affect delivery — useful for deciding on a CDN or additional hosting locations.
  • Connection type tells you how your page behaves under real-world bandwidth limits — useful for judging image sizes, scripts, and render-blocking resources.

Running a few combinations gives you a realistic picture instead of a single best-case number. For example, if your site scores well from Frankfurt on Fast Broadband but poorly from Cape Town on 4G/LTE, the fix is likely page weight or asset delivery rather than server speed alone.

What You Get From Each Test

Every scan returns four scores at the top of the report — SEO, Performance, Security, and Overall — plus network data such as server information, load times, file details, HTTP headers, and SSL status. The platform also shows aggregate figures from tests run across its network, including an average TTFB of 548ms on desktop and 577ms on mobile.

Practical Notes

  • Tests are free and instant, with a limit of 5 checks per domain and 10 per user per day.
  • You can run the same URL repeatedly across different regions and connection types to build a comparison.
  • The tool also offers free network and website utilities beyond the speed test, including network data, server information, load time, file detail, HTTP, and SSL checks.

To get the most useful result, match your test setup to your actual audience: pick the region where most of your visitors are, and the connection type they most commonly use.
