How this works in your browser
Speed conversion is fixed-ratio arithmetic - 1 mph equals a known, constant number of km/h, m/s, knots, and ft/s - so this tool simply multiplies your entered value by each conversion factor the moment you type, entirely in your browser with plain JavaScript. There is no server call and nothing to wait on.
