 ## Known bugs and limitations
+* The ping/jitter test is measured by seeing how long it takes for an empty XHR to complete. It is not an acutal ICMP ping

   For this reason, the test may report inaccurate results if your CPU is too slow. (Does not affect most computers)
 * __IE11:__ the upload test is not precise on very fast connections
