# Speedtest in 4k

No Flash, No Java, No Websocket, No Bullshit.

This is a very small Speedtest implemented in Javascript, using XMLHttpRequest and Web Workers.

## Try it
[Take a Speedtest](http://speedtest.adolfintel.com)

## Compatibility
Only modern browsers are supported (Edge 12+)

## Requirements
 - A reasonably fast web server
 - Some way to generate garbage data using either the included PHP script, a [big file of random data](http://downloads.adolfintel.com/geth.php?r=speedtest-bigfile), or a symlink to /dev/urandom
 - Your server must not compress the data it sends
 - 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

## How to use
See the examples, it's really simple.
