+		<h2>How does this work?</h2>
+		<p>
+			The speedtest measures the maximum download speed from pixeldrain's
+			servers to your computer. This speed is not affected by the daily
+			download limit for free users.
+		</p>
+
+		<h2>What do the numbers mean?</h2>
+		<p>
+			The first number is the download speed in bytes per second. This is
+			useful for estimating how long a file download will take.
+		</p>
+		<ul>
+			<li>1 kB = 1000 bytes</li>
+			<li>1 MB = 1000 kB</li>
+			<li>1 GB = 1000 MB</li>
+			<li>etc..</li>
+		</ul>
+		<p>
+			The second number shows the download speed in bits. This is usually
+			the speed your ISP advertises to you. This number is equal to the
+			first number but multiplied by 8, because there are eight bits in a
+			byte.
+		</p>
+		<p>
+			The third number shows the latency to the pixeldrain servers. This
+			is dependent on how far you are removed from the closest pixeldrain
+			server. The lower the latency the faster your downloads will be,
+			generally. The number shows request latency and not ping latency.
+			HTTP requests have some overhead which means this latency number
+			shows multiple round trips instead of one.
+		</p>
+		<p>
+			The last number shows how much data the speedtest was able to
+			transfer in duration of the test. The standard test is five seconds
+			and the long test is 10 seconds. The long test is better
+			representative of the real download speed because the speed needs to
+			ramp up at the beginning which also takes time.
+		</p>
+
+		<h2>Why is the speed different from other speed tests?</h2>
+		<p>
+			Most speed tests have servers in datacenters which are located very
+			close to your home. They are also connected directly to your ISP
+			which means that the ISP does not have to pay for the bandwidth
+			because it stays within their network.
+		</p>
+		<p>
+			Pixeldrain does not have this luxury. Because our budget is very
+			small we are only able to afford the cheapest bandwidth available.
+			This means that the data has to travel further and is more likely to
+			be throttled.
+		</p>
+		<h2>How do I read these results?</h2>
+		<p>
+			If the speed is a lot slower than your usual downloads it can mean
+			two things.
+		</p>
+		<ol>
+			<li>
+				Your ISP is limiting the connection speed to pixeldrain's
+				servers
+			</li>
+			<li>
+				The pixeldrain servers are overloaded
+			</li>
+		</ol>
+		<p>
+			Number two is usually not the case, when that happens I will
+			<a href="https://twitter.com/Fornax96">tweet about it</a>.
+			Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about the first scenario. I
+			might be able to get more servers and better bandwidth if the site
+			gets many more subscribers, but for now that's out of reach.
