#LibreSpeed

2026-01-20

I recently acquired a new Turris Omnia NG router from @turris to take advantage of my new 10 Gbit/s internet speed from my provider Init7. Now I was really curious about my actual speed ...

This led me to LibreSpeed (github.com/librespeed), an Open Source speed test tool which is working by default with PHP. Unfortunately the router isn't powerful to provide reasonable measurements because the chunk files to test the download speed are generated by PHP and openssl. This appeared to be a bottleneck.

So I was tinkering a little bit and created a NGINX backend for LibreSpeed which doesn't rely on PHP.

Now I have put together this in a GitHub comment: github.com/librespeed/speedtes

(I still rely on PHP to get the IP address and to store the measurements though, but this is lightweight enough for the router.)

Try it out yourself: speedtest.momou.ch

@kubikpixel Bist du sicher, dass das ein #Tracking-freier Service sein soll?

Er funktioniert wenigstens, wenn man nur die #LibreSpeed-Domain in NoScript freischaltet aber ansonsten möchte das Teil für meinen Geschmack viel zu vielen Domains Zugriff auf meinen Rechner verschaffen.

Nicht, dass andere Speedtests besser wären aber #Privacy geht halt anders. 😔

I absolutely love #eduroam.

I have the WiFi credentials with my Tallinn University account stored in my laptop, I just entered the library of the University of Athens and I got connected with no issues nor configuration changes in 10 seconds.

(Results of the speedtest are via VPN)

#librespeed ist echt sin schönes #opensource Projekt, bis auf die Dokumentation.

Und nein, Quellcode ersetzt keine Dokumentation. Niemals.

@snaki @cafkafk also feel free to add a little writeup like:

"#OOKLA didn't want me to say #BeGayDoCrime so I setup #LibreSpeed instead..."

Be #salty like that...

@snaki @cafkafk personally, #OOKLA should be glad you chose to donate to them as a #Corporation and.not setup a #LibreSpeed test instead of speedtest.net…

Turns out there is a native speedtest utility application for desktops, and it uses uses . Very cool. I wish it (librespeed?) had more server choices available.

I used it for fun, looked at the bug tracker, saw someone reported high CPU usage, so of course I dropped everything else to profile it with : github.com/Ketok4321/speedtest

@dodoalexo @xChaos V Česku přes #LibreSpeed 😎

(Disclaimer: Jsem ve střetu zájmů, starám se o provoz jednoho z LibreSpeed serverů.)

Na Slovensku nevím, tak žádný LS server není.

#librespeed is a nice bandwidth test for self hosting. Just clone into a directory offered by nginx or apache with PHP, make a copy of one file, and then you have your own speed test running.

Does not sound to interesting.. but it is!
Walking through the flat with the smartphone, via wlan executing the test, you can compare reception.

FelixGaudin has developed a nice extension to #LibreSpeed that measures Responsiveness under working conditions (RPM) using #QUIC and #HTTP/3 try it on speedtest.rysingan.dev/

@flauschzelle Aus Prinzip würde ich sowas nur aufm #Router packen damit man jene Qualität für alle Geräte erfassen kann...

Leider hat das #ICSI den #Netalyzr eingestampft.

Theoretisch kann mensch auch #iperf, #LibreSpeed oder #Speedtest.net #CLI cron'en und sich den Output per script und ntfy.sh aufs Smartphone schicken lassen...
