No Australia

- No bullshit, works as intended.

- Australia doesn't exist btw. Or was it New Zealand?
  
  7
  
  Yes!

- Email some companies to see if you can find a sponsor. To be fair Australia is a small country in terms of population

The NoScript list terrifies me a little though... Not sure what's going on there, but that's a lot of JavaScript lol.

- Hi, I'm the original author of LibreSpeed. When you load the website it downloads a list of servers and tries all of them to see which one has the lowest ping, that's what you're seeing.

  Thank you for LibreSpeed! <3
  Been using it for a few years now,
  and it's become my go-to network speed testing tool

  Cool! Thanks for chiming in :)

  Thanks for clarifying! Took a deeper look on my computer and I guess I learned that NoScript was misidentifying due to the cors or something. Just had to call it out before, as one can never be too careful these days :D

- I mean, how else are you going to do a speed test?
  
  26
  
  I use iperf3 with Speedtest's servers, personally. But for a browser, yes JavaScript is needed.... But needing JavaScript files from like 20 different domains is typically a red flag for me on any site.

  Speedtest cli

- I temporarily trusted the two domains that started with librespeed and it worked.
  
  What the other 17 are for, I can't say.
  
  Edit: looking at the server list, many of them match up with the serves you can select.

- It's open-source. You can always check if there is anything shady. If you can't read it, you can raise an issue on Github and wait for a response :)

You can also self host it via docker.

Unfortunately doesn't quite reach the speeds speedtest.net can hit, but still cool to have a tool like this

- ISPs give special preference to speedtest.net, so that their metrics will look better. Which means it rarely reflects actual reality. Theres a good chance this test is closer to the actual speeds you're getting everywhere but on speedtest.net.

  I'm the author of the project. The servers are simply overloaded af unfortunately. It's a fairly popular project and we don't have enough servers to support this many concurrent users.

  Certainly true in regards to real life use, but it's a good way to check that there isn't some issue on my end that's limiting the speed I am paying for

  Forgot to mention earlier, Steam is an example of a real world situation where I do actually hit around 1.5 Gb/s down

  Depending on the country, if they don't give special preference to speedtest.net, they might just block it.

- 1611Mbps, do you live inside AWS‽
  
  10
  
  Fiber to the home is pretty neat. I could actually more than double the speed to 3Gb/s symmetrical for about $14 more per month, but frankly even the current speed is way more than I need. Will probably step it down a bit when my promotional discount ends.

- It varies on your location. Also speed test.net is rigged and fully of bullshit (ads and tracking)
  
  8
  
  Speedtest.net isn't rigged, I can exceed the speed I get on it with steam.
  
  1
- 10.4 down / 3.13 up
  
  1
  
  14 down, 1.18 up 🙃

- Try single server on soeedtest.net

Speedtest-Tracker or MySpeed are self-hosted solutions that can be extensively configured to send notifications when thresholds are exceeded or not reached.

- In prefer not feeding Ooklas data, openspeedtest doesn’t use their servers and is also selfhostable
  
  14
  
  MySpeed gives you the choice to also choose LibreSpeed.
  
  7
I prefer OpenSpeedtest. It’s also selfhostable so none of this “no server” nonsense

9
- That doesn't work well as a general speed test

  What does “general” mean in this context?

Thanks for this service, but whats the point if the server's cant handle their task?

They finally added dark theme!

6
- It is just HTML

one of the most underrated tools i.m.o. I have a lighttpd webserver with librespeed on my usb and its such a great tool to check if a slow network is due to issues with the local network or the internet.

It sucks, no Spain.

Cool application, thanks for sharing

Wow, the new FCC law made comcast raise my generous 10Mbps upload to 25Mbps! It's $80/mo for this shit.

- Good Lord you should move haha

Does it do bufferbloat?

speedof.me

Works great

Nice.

They recently got another server in Denver which makes me happy

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?

1
- Depending on what skills you have for the "set it up" part, it seems like it'd be pretty straightforward to throw a script around Speedtest CLI to do that. I guess LibreSpeed has a CLI version too.
