HTML5 Speedtest

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

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

Take a Speedtest

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, or a symlink to /dev/urandom
  • 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

How to use

See the examples, it's really simple.
