Full-featured Command Line Interface and pureGo API to Test Internet Speed usingspeedtest.net.
You can speedtest 2x faster thanspeedtest.net with almost the same result.See the experimental results.Inspired bysivel/speedtest-cli
$ brew tap showwin/speedtest$ brew install speedtest### How to Update ###$ brew update$ brew upgrade speedtestNix (package manager)
# Enter the latest speedtest-go environment$ nix-shell -p speedtest-goPlease download the compatible package fromReleases.If there are no compatible packages you want, please let me know onIssue Tracker.
To build a multi-architecture Docker image:
# Check if you already have a builder instancedocker buildx ls# Only create a new builder if you don't have one# If the above command shows no builders or none are in use, run:docker buildx create --name mybuilder --use# Build and push for multiple platformsdocker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64,linux/arm/v7 -t yourusername/speedtest-go:latest --push.
Run the container with default settings (interactive shell):
docker run -it yourusername/speedtest-go:latest
Run a speedtest with specific arguments:
# Run a basic speedtestdocker run yourusername/speedtest-go:latest speedtest-go# Run with specific serverdocker run yourusername/speedtest-go:latest speedtest-go --server 6691# Run with multiple servers and JSON outputdocker run yourusername/speedtest-go:latest speedtest-go --server 6691 --server 6087 --json# Run with custom locationdocker run yourusername/speedtest-go:latest speedtest-go --location=60,-110
Here's an example Kubernetes pod specification that runs a speedtest:
apiVersion:v1kind:Podmetadata:name:speedtestspec:containers: -name:speedtestimage:yourusername/speedtest-go:latest# Base command to run bashcommand:["speedtest-go"]# Or run with specific arguments# args: ["--server", "6691", "--json"]restartPolicy:Never
For a more complete deployment, you might want to use a CronJob to run periodic speedtests:
apiVersion:batch/v1kind:CronJobmetadata:name:speedtestspec:schedule:"0 */6 * * *"# Run every 6 hoursjobTemplate:spec:template:spec:containers: -name:speedtestimage:yourusername/speedtest-go:latestcommand:["speedtest-go"]args:["--json"]restartPolicy:OnFailure
$ speedtest --helpusage: speedtest-go [<flags>]Flags: --help Show context-sensitivehelp (also try --help-long and --help-man). -l, --list Show available speedtest.net servers. -s, --server=SERVER ... Select server id to speedtest. --custom-url=CUSTOM-URL Specify the url of the server instead of fetching from speedtest.net. --saving-mode Test with few resources, though low accuracy (especially> 30Mbps). --json Output resultsin json format. --jsonl Output resultsin jsonl format (one json object per line). --unix Output resultsin unix like format. --location=LOCATION Change the location with a precise coordinate (format: lat,lon). --city=CITY Change the location with a predefined city label. --city-list List all predefined city labels. --proxy=PROXY Set a proxy(http[s] or socks)for the speedtest. eg: --proxy=socks://10.20.0.101:7890 eg: --proxy=http://10.20.0.101:7890 --source=SOURCE Bind asource interfacefor the speedtest. --dns-bind-source DNS request bindingsource (experimental). eg: --source=10.20.0.101 -m --multi Enable multi-server mode. -t --thread=THREAD Set the number of concurrent connections. --search=SEARCH Fuzzy search servers by a keyword. --ua Set the user-agent headerfor the speedtest. --no-download Disable download test. --no-upload Disable upload test. --ping-mode Select a methodfor Ping (support icmp/tcp/http). -u --unit Set human-readable and auto-scaled rate unitsfor output (options: decimal-bits/decimal-bytes/binary-bits/binary-bytes). -d --debug Enable debug mode. --version Show application version.
Simply usespeedtest command. The closest server is selected by default. Use the-m flag to enable multi-measurement mode (recommended)

With--city or--location option, the closest servers of the location will be picked.You can measure the speed between your location and the target location.
$ speedtest --city-listAvailable city labels (case insensitive): CC CityLabel Location(za) capetown [-33.9391993, 18.4316716](pl) warsaw [52.2396659, 21.0129345](sg) yishun [1.4230218, 103.8404728]...$ speedtest --city=capetown$ speedtest --location=60,-110
With--saving-mode option, it can be executed even in an insufficient memory environment like IoT devices.The memory usage can be reduced to 1/10, about 10MB of memory is used.
However, please be careful that the accuracy is particularly low, especially in an environment of 30 Mbps or higher.To get more accurate results, run multiple times and average.
For more details, please seesaving mode experimental result.
--saving-mode is still a good way to reduce computation.
go get github.com/showwin/speedtest-go
Thecode below finds the closest available speedtest server and tests the latency, download, and upload speeds.

Thecode will find the closest available speedtest server and analyze packet loss.

Speedtest-go is a great tool because of the following five reasons:
- Cross-platform available.
- Low memory environment.
- We are the firstFULL-FEATURED open source speed testing project based on speedtest.net, including down/up rates, jitter and packet loss, etc.
- Testing time is theSHORTEST compare tospeedtest.net andsivel/speedtest-cli, especially about 2x faster thanspeedtest.net.
- Result isMORE CLOSE tospeedtest.net thanspeedtest-cli.
The following data is summarized. If you got interested, please seemore details.
distance = distance to testing server
- 0 - 1000(km) ≒ domestic
- 1000 - 8000(km) ≒ same region
- 8000 - 20000(km) ≒ really far!
- 20000km is half of the circumference of our planet.
