    The NoScript list terrifies me a little though… Not sure what’s going on there, but that’s a lot of JavaScript lol.

      Hi, I’m the original author of LibreSpeed. When you load the website it downloads a list of servers and tries all of them to see which one has the lowest ping, that’s what you’re seeing.

        Thank you for LibreSpeed! <3
        Been using it for a few years now,
        and it’s become my go-to network speed testing tool

        Thanks for clarifying! Took a deeper look on my computer and I guess I learned that NoScript was misidentifying due to the cors or something. Just had to call it out before, as one can never be too careful these days :D

        I use iperf3 with Speedtest’s servers, personally. But for a browser, yes JavaScript is needed… But needing JavaScript files from like 20 different domains is typically a red flag for me on any site.

          It doesn’t need javascript from “20 different domains”, only a file called empty.php is fetched from those servers to measure the ping. The javascript is hosted on librespeed.org, which is under my control.

      I temporarily trusted the two domains that started with librespeed and it worked.

      What the other 17 are for, I can’t say.

      Edit: looking at the server list, many of them match up with the serves you can select.

      It’s open-source. You can always check if there is anything shady. If you can’t read it, you can raise an issue on Github and wait for a response :)

      ISPs give special preference to speedtest.net, so that their metrics will look better. Which means it rarely reflects actual reality. Theres a good chance this test is closer to the actual speeds you’re getting everywhere but on speedtest.net.

        I’m the author of the project. The servers are simply overloaded af unfortunately. It’s a fairly popular project and we don’t have enough servers to support this many concurrent users.

          Thank you for the project. Maybe you can have an indicator saying

          • Server load level = 4/5 Measured speed might not be indicative of true speed
          • Server load level = 2/5 Measured speed is close to true speed

          This could set an expectation for the users of the side

        • Possibly linux

          Hello there, I didn’t expect you to popup. (Nice project BTW)

          Would it be possible to get more companies to sponsor it? It seems like it is free advertising especially for ISPs (as long as they don’t favor IPs)

        Certainly true in regards to real life use, but it’s a good way to check that there isn’t some issue on my end that’s limiting the speed I am paying for

        Forgot to mention earlier, Steam is an example of a real world situation where I do actually hit around 1.5 Gb/s down

        Fiber to the home is pretty neat. I could actually more than double the speed to 3Gb/s symmetrical for about $14 more per month, but frankly even the current speed is way more than I need. Will probably step it down a bit when my promotional discount ends.

      In prefer not feeding Ooklas data, openspeedtest doesn’t use their servers and is also selfhostable

    I prefer OpenSpeedtest. It’s also selfhostable so none of this “no server” nonsense

    one of the most underrated tools i.m.o. I have a lighttpd webserver with librespeed on my usb and its such a great tool to check if a slow network is due to issues with the local network or the internet.

    Wow, the new FCC law made comcast raise my generous 10Mbps upload to 25Mbps! It’s $80/mo for this shit.
