Not only does Speedtest CLI provide best in class measurement techniques, but it also leverages our highly optimized C++ engine, custom Layer 7 protocols and the largest internet performance server network in the world to squeeze every bit per second out of a connection - even on embedded hardware. This release marks the ability for any non-commercial individual to leverage over a decade of optimization and experience of network benchmarking within their own applications. However, this minimalist interface is incredibly powerful - it provides the core of our Speedtest engines to software developers across the world. Speedtest CLI is a major departure from our existing applications - it is entirely text driven and does not have a traditional user interface. We are proud to introduce our latest (and most visually minimal) application, Speedtest CLI. You can now run a Speedtest from your command line Speedtest CLI is the next step in providing developers and engineers low level access to programmatically measure internet performance. Ookla’s goal is to support these teams by providing the best benchmarking toolsets to drive internet performance improvements across the world. We have seen and have connected with many others who have the same goal - teams who have built brilliant ideas that leverage internet performance metrics to drive speed and reliability advancements across global networks.
