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

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

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 (see doc.pdf for details)
  • Some way to generate garbage data (PHP script included, see doc.pdf for other solutions)
  • 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

How to use

See the examples or doc.md
