The LibreSpeed speed test

https://librespeed.org/ The LibreSpeed speed test 0 3/5 stars ★★★☆☆ Hans van der Graaf

In general, the LibreSpeed speed test is not a recommended speed test, mainly because the results of LibreSpeed are ambiguous.

 

With an adverstised speed of 100 Mbps and an average measured internet speed of 106.3 Mbps, we conclude that the LibreSpeed speed test is not an accurate speed test (Accuracy score: 20/100).

The LibreSpeed speed test is a ambiguous speed test. That is, this speed test measures structural an internet speed somewhere between the the advertised speed and your your true internet speed.

The LibreSpeed speed test is created in 2016 by Federico Dossena, an Italian software developer, and available at Github.

We have tried to create some examples based on this GitHub, but we didn´t get it work properly (our knowledge of PHP is minimal). Hence don´t expect correct measurements when you try these LibreSpeed variants.
