Check VPS Network Speed Using SpeedTest Cli<\/h2>

SpeedTest.net is another well known Internet speed test available by simply accessing their website on web browser that supports Flash. But most of the linux distributions does not come with Graphical User Interface (GUI). So we are stuck with using command line interface (cli). So the SpeedTest.net also provides a Python based tool to conduct the speed test via command line under Linux. First download the SpeedTest script using wget command. Just run following commands step wise:<\/p>

apt-get install python-pip<\/code><\/code>mv bintray-ookla-rhel.repo \/etc\/yum.repos.d\/\nyum install speedtest\n.\/speedtest-cli\n\n<\/pre>
\"Speedtest-cli
Speedtest-cli on Centos<\/figcaption><\/figure>
The SpeedTest.net network tool is customize able and also provides following functions.<\/p>
  1. This code generates a badge which can then be shared showing your network speed to others.<\/li><\/ol>
    speedtest-cli –share<\/p>
    2. The –list function will retrieve available test locations displayed in order based on closest server first.<\/p>
    speedtest-cli –list<\/p>
    The First method shared above using bench.sh is more reliable and is preferred above using speedtest.net tool. <\/p>
    Use following commands on Ubuntu\/Debian<\/p>
