How It Works

visitor@speedtest.cloud:~$ cat /how-it-works

Tests run entirely in your browser using browser-native APIs. A pure command layer parses input while a React terminal renders output. Nothing is sent to any backend we operate. No accounts, no persistence. M-Lab NDT7 publishes its measurements as open data (you accepted this data policy by running the test).

Frequently Asked Questions

$ Why are results different from Speedtest.net?

> Different test servers, protocols, and timing produce different results.
> Browser-based tests may also differ from native clients due to connection
> handling. For consistent results, use the same provider each time.

$ Is my data private?

> Yes. We do not collect, store, or transmit any data. Tests run in your
> browser. M-Lab publishes anonymized measurements as open data.

$ Why does LibreSpeed say "not configured"?

> LibreSpeed requires a self-hosted, CORS-enabled server. The app ships
> unconfigured. Add your server to the appropriate source file.

$ Can I use this on mobile?

> Yes. The terminal adapts to mobile viewports. Touch to focus the input.

$ What internet speed do I need?

> The FCC recommends 25 Mbps download / 3 Mbps upload for basic use.
> See: FCC Broadband Speed Guide

$ Is this open source?

> The project is available at github.com/thepingdoctor/speedtest-term.
> Contributions and issues are welcome.
