Introduction

This repo contains the source code for a simple Node.js client speedtest. It uses WebSockets (w. socket.io) to quickly transfer data between the server and client. Ping is measured by timing multiple round trips and selecting the lowest one. Download and upload speeds are measured by repeatedly sending chunks of junk data back end forth and timing each request. The chunk size is calculated based on the current network speed.

Note: The accuracy of tests decreases at higher speeds
