# HTML5 Speedtest
No Flash, No Java, No Websocket, No Bullshit.
This is a very lightweight Speedtest implemented in Javascript, using XMLHttpRequest and Web Workers.
## Try it
[Take a Speedtest](https://contest.gq)
## Compatibility
Only modern browsers are supported (IE11, latest Edge, latest Chrome, latest Firefox, latest Safari)
## Requirements
- A reasonably fast web server. PHP is optional but recommended
- Some way to generate garbage data
- Your server must accept large POST requests (up to 20 Megabytes), otherwise the upload test will fail
- It's also better if your server does not use compression, but it's not mandatory
