Know if cafe Wi-Fi is ready for real work.
After the portal clears, CafeSignal checks whether the connection is actually useful: signal strength, internet state, live speed, likely tasks, and the limits that could slow you down.
Work-ready score
CafeSignal scores the current cafe Wi-Fi from 0 to 100 after checking signal quality, portal state, and verified internet access.
Live speed checks
Measure ping, download, and upload from the desktop app so you know whether the connection is usable before you start working.
Good-for guidance
See whether the Wi-Fi is good for browsing, email, video calls, uploads, or only basic work.
Cafe Wi-Fi Rescue
CafeSignal calls out hidden portal URLs, DNS trouble, VPN/proxy interference, Low Data Mode, and metered paths before they interrupt your work.
Install once, then let CafeSignal watch cafe Wi-Fi.

Optional support
Buy me a coffee and keep CafeSignal moving.
CafeSignal is free to try. If it saved you a little friction on cafe Wi-Fi, a coffee helps cover development time, release packaging, and the small services behind the website.
This is a voluntary tip, not a charity donation and not tax-deductible. CafeSignal will keep stopping at passwords, paid portals, vouchers, accounts, CAPTCHA, and OTP steps.
