Library and command line interface for testing internet bandwidth using speedtest.net.

The goal of this project is to run server-side speedtest, from cli or web interface.

Installation

As standalone package

Download and install with

composer install

then run

./bin/speedtest

(IP adress was hidden for the demo)

As project dependency

composer require aln/speedtest-php

then run

./vendor/bin/speedtest

CLI Usage

$ ./bin/speedtest -h

usage: speedtest [-h] [--no-download] [--no-upload] [--single] [--bytes]
                 [--share] [--simple] [--json] [--list] [--server=SERVER]
                 [--exclude=EXCLUDE] [--source=SOURCE] [--timeout=TIMEOUT]
                 [--version]

https://github.com/aln-1/speedtest-php

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --no-download         Do not perform download test
  --no-upload           Do not perform upload test
  --single              Only use a single connection instead of multiple. This
                        simulates a typical file transfer
  --bytes               Display values in bytes instead of bits. Does not
                        affect the image generated by --share, nor output from
                        --json
  --share               Generate and provide a URL to the speedtest.net share
                        results image
  --simple              Suppress verbose output and progress, only shows results
  --json                Output in JSON format. Speeds listed in bits and not
                        affected by --bytes. Can be combined with --simple
                        to supress progress
  --list                Display a list of speedtest.net servers sorted by
                        distance
  --server=SERVER       Specify a server ID to test against. Can be comma
                        separated values
  --exclude=EXCLUDE     Exclude a server from selection. Can be comma
                        separated values
  --source=SOURCE       Source IP address to bind to or interface name
  --timeout=TIMEOUT     HTTP timeout in seconds, default 10
  --version             Show the version number

Library

Minimal code

$ php -a
Interactive shell

php > require 'vendor/autoload.php';
php > $speedtest = new Aln\Speedtest\Speedtest();
php > $speedtest->getServers();
php > $speedtest->getBestServer();
php > $speedtest->download();
php > $speedtest->upload();
php > $results = $speedtest->results();
php > print_r($results);
Aln\Speedtest\Result Object
(
    [latency:protected] => 4.57
    [download:protected] => 47888585.578516
    [upload:protected] => 64841042.860629
    [bytesReceived:protected] => 59881235
    [bytesSent:protected] => 82579808
)

Units:

• latency = ms
• download / upload = bits/s
• bytesReceived / bytesSent = bytes

With progress callback

$ php -a
Interactive shell

php > require 'vendor/autoload.php';
php > $config = new Aln\Speedtest\Config();
php > $config->setCallback(function ($results) { print_r($results); });
php > $speedtest = new Aln\Speedtest\Speedtest($config);
php > $speedtest->getServers();
php > $speedtest->getBestServer();
php > $speedtest->download();
Aln\Speedtest\Result Object
(
    [latency:protected] => 4.40
    [download:protected] => 0
    [upload:protected] =>
    [bytesReceived:protected] => 0
    [bytesSent:protected] => 0
)

// More dump was here ...

Aln\Speedtest\Result Object

    [upload:protected] =>
    [bytesReceived:protected] => 37153149
    [bytesSent:protected] => 0
)

(showing only first and last callback results from the download method)
