SpeedOf.Me is an internet speed test service which uses browser capabilities such as HTML5 and JavaScript to measure a user's internet connection speed. SpeedOf.Me utilizes multiple servers around the world, with the server used being chosen automatically based on location.[1][2] It is financed through its paid API[3] as well as advertising.

Features

[edit]

SpeedOf.Me reports download and upload throughput, latency (ping) and jitter, and runs in the web browser without a plug-in or app. Rather than transferring data all at once, it downloads and uploads a series of progressively larger sample files in sequence, an approach the service says approximates real-world web browsing.[2] Results can be saved to a local history and shared as an image link.[2]

API and integrations

[edit]

The service provides a JavaScript-based API that lets third-party websites and applications embed its speed test without operating their own test servers, with example integrations for frameworks including React, Vue, Angular, Electron, Flutter, iOS and Android.[4] In January 2026 it published @speedofme/mcp, a Node.js package that bundles a command-line tool, a programmatic SDK and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, the last of which lets AI agents run speed tests on a user's behalf.[5]
