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

This is a very small (4k) Speedtest implemented in Javascript, that relies only on XMLHttpRequest.

Try it

Take a Speedtest

Compatibility

Microsoft Edge, Firefox 10+, Chrome 10+, Opera 15+, Safari 7 (not tested)

Requirements

  • A reasonably fast web serve
  • Some way to generate garbage data using either the included PHP script, a big file of random data, 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 example.html, it's not rocket science.
