Some constructive feedback - without me know where your server is, this test feels pointless. It's just showing my the speed between my computer and your server which could be anywhere in the world. Also, the chart labels say "MBS" but the details below say "Mbps".
If I want a simple test, I'll usually use fast.com because I know that Netflix have a presence here in NZ and the "more info" link shows where the servers are.
But if I need something more technically oriented, I'll use speed.cloudflare.com.
Both of those tests show my speed significantly higher than what yours is showing.
I'm going to work on telemetry and a snippet to show the server, ping, and a few more things keeping it minimal. I also fixed the typo. Thanks for the feedback
I don't think this server has enough bandwidth to accurately measure download speed. It told me my speed was 90.59 MB/s, but the test at fast.com gave me a more plausible 310 MB/s and speedtest.net gave me 325 MB/s. So it seems to be measuring its own maximum speed rather than mine. (The upload speed it gave me, 12 MB/s, agreed with fast.com.)
I will spend some time setting up Telemetry and a few servers to try and get one closer to you. But I don't think I'm getting throttled, but I'll check as well.
- Latency, traceroute (or server location), ingress network or any other 'advanced' stats would be nice. Maybe hidden in an accordian?
- If it's open source, a github like is probably a good idea
- A share button is also a good idea. A simple link to a results page or even just a generated image would probably be sufficient.
Where are you hosting this? Doesn't this slam your cost of bandwidth/fair use for unlimited?
The upload seemed to keep going for 5-10 seconds after the chart was fully populated. Other than that, seems pretty good (and showed similar results to testmy.net).
It stores nothing as its just a blob of data, it uses clicky which is gdrp compliant for visitor tracking, why by default anynomizes and zero's out the ips.
"Why?" Sometimes, the most unentertaining answer is the correct one--which is just junior developers creating toy apps to boost their resumes in a tough hiring market. It's the same reason the npm ecosystem is flooded with so many garbage packages.
Shouldn't of put the "made by" on it, I took it down since. Was just trying to appease another commenter who asked for attribution. Not sure what makes some one a junior developer.
why are there multiple versions of anything? people can choose the one they like, and all are different somehow.
I personally prefer fast.com because it's quick to type in and typically I'm only looking for download speed, but the real-time graph on this one here is pretty cool
There are ISPs out there that give priority and optimized the speed to Ookla Speedtest whenever the browsers connected to it. This causes skewed results believing that we are getting the speed we paid for when it is not in reality. In a way, it would do "unlimited speed" the maximum it can go just for this test.
Netflix Fast are connected to multiple Netflix CDNs throughout regions. They will get a realistic speed meter and difficult for ISPs to fake it.
Fast give me 300Mbps. I haven't tried out Cloudflare speedtest until now, it give me 335Mbps. My internet package is 300Mbps, so it is consistent with the speed that I get from my ISP.
Fast can also measure some more connection metadata if you click "show more info". A bit annoying it requires the extra step to start measuring ping and upload speed, but it is there.
Fast shows you how fast your ISP WAN is, as the speed test goes to your local (ISP) Netflix cache. I like speed tests that go outside the ISP to get an idea of bandwidth to the internet
The site claims superior accuracy (which I can't confirm but probably someone here can evaluate one way or the other). The site offers a number of test options and other amenities.
I'll have to try these other sites to see how they compare.
Interesting, but as others have commented, why? Is this something that you plan to turn into a product or is this just for fun?
Compared with other tools this runs for much longer, which made me question if it was ever going to stop the download test and run the upload. After stopping it twice I finally let it run long enough to see the upload too. The numbers agree with Ookla as far as I can tell.
Having the X axis move is a bit disturbing and confusing since it doesn't give a sense of when the test might finish. The Y axis is not great for a cable connection like mine where it's ~550Mbps down and only 12 up. The upload graph is almost flat and it's hard to see any variation.
what is this? No description. No Github. Im all for test your internet speed like libre speed, where I can actually test my local wifi. How is this front page?
