Compare RPC providers on measured data
The top 4 on the chosen chain are compared by default. Pick your own — up to 4 — and the selection moves into the URL, so a comparison can be sent to someone else and they will see exactly what you saw.

9 providers scored against each other.
Where the gap comes from
Two scores side by side say one is higher. This says why: the score is a weighted sum, so it comes apart, and each component’s share of the difference adds back to the difference exactly. Compared against NodeReal, the highest scorer of those selected.
