Not sure why that box is sometimes 100% green like a fully charged battery on an Iphone or 25% red.  Does this indicate the speed of the Internet connection?

It signifies lag, if you hover over the box, then it shows if you have high lag, medium lag, low lag, and almost no lag at all for a full green bar.
