As part of Google’s ongoing effort to make the web faster, YouTube has just introduced its new feature Video Speed Dashboard. This tool was created to give you an insight into what your YouTube speed looks like compared to the YouTube speed of users in other regions with different ISPs. In short the YouTube dashboard could either tell you that your YouTube video speed is either too fast or too slow.
