OpenSpeedTest
OpenSpeedTest is a free, browser-based HTML5 tool for measuring internet and network performance. It measures sustained download and upload speeds, latency, jitter, and connection stability; the maker says its adaptive test supports connections from 1 Mbps to 10 Gbps and beyond. The browser test runs without an app, plugin, Flash, or Java installation. A responsive widget can be embedded in a website or app. URL parameters can launch a test automatically, run continuous stress tests, choose download, upload, or ping measurements, and set ping samples or parallel connections. For self-hosting, Docker images and source code are available for home, office, cloud, and enterprise environments. The setup guide calls for a public IPv4 or IPv6 address, a domain that resolves to the server, and an email address for Let's Encrypt setup. OpenSpeedTest supports HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3. The maker says Firefox is not recommended for stress tests longer than 10 minutes or speeds above 2.5 Gbps. The tool has been available since 2011 and is described for home networks, small offices, enterprise deployments, and infrastructure testing.
