About:
speedtest-cli is a lightweight command-line utility that measures your internet connection's download and upload speeds using the Speedtest.net infrastructure. It provides raw data metrics including ping latency, connection quality, and server selection without requiring a graphical interface. This tool is ideal for automated testing, remote server diagnostics, and integration into monitoring scripts.
Key Features:
  • Command-line interface for automated testing
  • Server selection and auto-location capabilities
  • Raw data output in JSON, CSV, or text formats
  • Minimal dependencies and lightweight footprint
Use Cases:
  • Automated network performance monitoring in scripts
  • Remote server bandwidth verification
  • Quick internet speed checks on headless systems
  • Integration with CI/CD pipelines for connectivity testing
Alternatives:
  • fast.com-cli – Uses Netflix's Fast.com instead of Speedtest.net; fewer configuration options
  • mtr – Focuses on route tracing and packet loss rather than bandwidth measurement
