What is the Health Check?
The health check is a very useful tool when using LightSail HTML. Instead of testing your internet speed locally, it checks your connections and speeds with our LightSail NY server. It will tell you the internet download speed and if you are successfully connecting to all ports required for HTML to work.
To run the health check do the following:
Click on the stethoscope on the top right corner
The Left (in red square) gives your download speed to the LightSail NY servers
The Right (in purple square) shows your connections to the required HTML ports and URL’s
