A minimal web app that tests your internet speed in real time.
Tests: download, upload, ping, jitter and latency
(not very accurate)
Used AI for debugging, guidance for creating the cloudflare workers, and fixing browser header issues
This project is a simple internet speed test site. I ran into issues with the upload-test and decided to learn more about CloudFlare workers. I originally used a 100mb file for download but ended up switching to another worker for more accuracy. Turned out pretty simple and nice and I learned quite a few things!
Forgot to add more frequent devlogs but heres what I did.
Ran into a lotta issue with the speedtest results not being accurate at all (1900mbps).
I tried 100mb file so the site could repeatidtly request it but i couldn’t do the same for upload speed. Ping, jitter, and latency was fine but I needed a place to upload and test that speed.
I ended up with 2 cloudflare workers (free, which was nice), and made the tests much more accurate. I styled up the results, went back and forth a bunch of times with progress bars and loaders. Ran into issues with CSS and JS not cooperating at ALL.
In the end I managed to get it to work and it displays the speed of each value nicely. I’m sure it’s not 100% accurate and added a disclaimer at the bottom.
