## Requirements
2016-10-23 17:49:52 +00:00
- A reasonably fast web server
2017-02-02 07:05:42 +00:00
- Some way to generate garbage data using either the included PHP script, a [big file of random data ](http://downloads.fdossena.com/geth.php?r=speedtest-bigfile ), or a symlink to /dev/urandom
2016-03-04 11:48:09 +00:00
- Your server must accept large POST requests (up to 10 Megabytes), otherwise the upload test will fail
- Client side, there must not be any type of buffering (such as a proxy), or you may get incorrect results

- It's also better if your server does not use compression, but it's not mandatory
