Speedtest
Run a self-hosted HTML5 internet speed test with LibreSpeed, which supports multiple server configurations.
About Speedtest
LibreSpeed is an open-source, self-hosted HTML5 internet speed test tool available as a GitHub repository. It is designed to be lightweight, with no dependencies on Flash, Java, or WebSocket, and works across all modern desktop and mobile browsers, including IE11.
Users can deploy the tool on their own web server to run tests measuring download speed, upload speed, ping, and jitter. Optional features include displaying the user’s IP address, ISP, and distance from the test server, as well as optional telemetry, result sharing, and support for multiple test points. It also includes a standalone connection stability test that repeatedly measures latency over a selected duration, reports current, average, minimum, and maximum values, tracks jitter and failed request percentages, generates live charts, and supports CSV export of collected samples.
The tool is suited for network administrators, developers, and organizations that need a customizable, internal speed testing solution without relying on third-party public speed test services.
