The way skyfire works is that their servers act as a proxy for whatever site you go to. So if you go to google.com, the data is routed through skyfire servers first then compressed and sent to your phone. Sites like dslreports and other speed testing sites simply won't work because you're not connected directly to the site.

At least that has been my understanding of how skyfire works, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
