Is there difference to https://openspeedtest.com ?
Aaaaand your ISP has already begun forcibly speeding up your service to make it look better in 3… 2… 1…
No doubt the second they figure this out a large amount of the scummy ISPs around the world are gonna start temporary reverse speed throttling when this is used, per usual, to make themselves look better.
317kB. I love tiny apps <3
No Java?
Did they stutter?
There were something called “Java applets” on the web before flash. It was real Java, probably a sunset of that. There was an addon just like flash.
I doubt they would care enough for Java applets that died a long time ago to put “No Java” in the description
36% Javascript so this statement feels a little strong
Does anyone know of a speed test where you can set it up to run by itself regularly and push a notification to a channel (like pushbullet or similar) when the speed is below a certain threshold?
Edit: I went with self hosted speedtest-tracker as a docker container and notifications through Discord webhook.
Thanks for all the tips!! ❤️
If I had this requirement I would just generate a file of specific size, place it on one server and on the other I would have a shell script running via cron and measure the time it took to download the file.
It seems like a relatively simple problem.
BTW are you sure you want to test download speed and not latency? I think some routers might have the later built in.
Definitely speed. My ISP runs on another service providers hardware and it bugs out from time to time and I get 1/10th of the speeds I usually have. My ISP has no way of knowing this so I have to know when it happens and place a ticket so they can place a ticket on the hardware guys.
Maybe try https://myspeed.dev/
Funnily enough, I had something exactly like this set up with home assistant. You can add Ookla and fast.com speed tests as devices, which will run the tests periodically, and then I had an automation set up to send me a message via telegram whenever speed was less than half of what it was supposed to be
At my last job, we used iperf a lot for internal speed tests and we used to wonder if there were public iperf servers to test against.
I’m not sure how secure that’d be or if that would even be worth it, but it was an interesting thought.
Why “no websockets” is good? What’s wrong with it?
Cool project! I used OpenSpeedTest last week to test local intranet speeds.
If you already have docker/podman installed, the command below should get you going quickly:
docker run --restart=unless-stopped --name openspeedtest -d -p 3000:3000 -p 3001:3001 openspeedtest/latestI prefer to use the ookla sppedtest CLI version. No bs but also better server coverage

Also the ISP probably knows most of the servers speedtest owns and accelerate speeds for them along with other popular speed test websites, while throttling other regular connections.
Didn’t think of that, but that sounds illegal
Only if they get caught. Looking at you VW.
Too bad our supreme court has recently stripped all US agencies of their…agency…
wouldn’t this also apply to libre speed test once it gets on their radar?
