According to the latest nPerf analysis, Ireland secures the world’s top position in mobile Internet browsing performance. The country ranks ahead of four other European nations, confirming the continent’s strong momentum in network performance.
“The countries that deployed 5G first are not necessarily the ones offering the fastest browsing experience” observes Renaud Keradec, CEO of nPerf.
Top 5 best mobile browsing performances in 2025.
Five European countries lead the global ranking
The study compares the loading time of the five most visited websites in each country. The results place Europe firmly at the top of the global leaderboard.
Ireland ranks first with a score of 79.13%, followed by the Netherlands at 78.61% and Slovakia at 78.01%. Slovenia records 76.99%, and Belgium 76.49%. A score of 100% corresponds to an instant webpage load, while 0% indicates that the page could not be loaded.
United States: Early 5G leadership does not guarantee the best experience
Notably, despite an early deployment of 5G as early as 2018, that is two years before most European countries, the United States does not appear in the top 5.
This gap can largely be attributed to the scale and heterogeneity of the territory: covering several million square kilometers is a significantly more complex challenge than upgrading a smaller country such as Ireland or Belgium. This disparity directly influences the quality and consistency of the mobile browsing experience.
