Hashrate is a measure of the total computing power being used to secure and process transactions on a blockchain network (like Bitcoin). You can think of it as the network's overall guessing speed. The higher the hashrate, the faster the network is working and the more secure it is. Zettahash (ZH/s)

Imagine the entire world's population suddenly decided to start counting, all at once, in perfect synchronization.

A Zettahash is 1 sextillion (1 with 21 zeros) guesses or calculations per second.

In simple terms, a Zettahash is an incomprehensibly large number of attempts to solve a cryptographic puzzle in a single second.

It represents a monumental amount of raw computing power dedicated to securing a network. If the Bitcoin network is operating at one Zettahash, it means the computers running the network are performing 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 calculations every second.
