SmartHide can slow down the Internet because of different factors:
- Net overload;
- Problems with the server;
- Old software release;
- Site you want to open is very large or does not exist;
- Overloaded server;
- Problems with internet channels on the way from the user to the server;
- Geographical remoteness to the server.
We recommend you to go through the
Speed test at http://www.speedtest.net/ with connected SmartHide and
directly without SmartHide. And then compare the received results.
If your goal is to achieve a maximum speed, then you should do a speed test with all the SmartHide servers available and then pickup the fastest one for you.
You should also consider the fact that the speed can change with time. If a week ago you got a fast speed, some time later it may go down. At the same time other servers can increase the speed.
In the nearest future we plan to post a real time statistics of servers load on our SmartHide website and later on - to integrate it inside our software.
