OpenSpeedTest

OpenSpeedTest is a free, open-source HTML5 speed test application that enables accurate network performance measurement without requiring plugins, Flash, or Java. Unlike proprietary speed test services that may be influenced by ISP relationships or inject advertisements, OpenSpeedTest provides unbiased, self-hosted speed measurements. The tool is used by network administrators, ISPs, and individuals worldwide who need reliable, private speed testing infrastructure under their complete control.

Common Use Cases

Network administrators deploy OpenSpeedTest to diagnose bandwidth issues, verify network upgrades, and establish performance baselines across corporate networks. Internet Service Providers use self-hosted instances to provide customers with branded speed tests that measure actual connection performance to their network.
