Install Nginx, use https://github.com/openspeedtest/Nginx-Configuration copy https://github.com/openspeedtest/Speed-Test www/public_html folder.

[tvcat]

Install Nginx, use https://github.com/openspeedtest/Nginx-Configuration copy https://github.com/openspeedtest/Speed-Test www/public_html folder.

I use Laragon on Windows and put the Speed-test files in the WWW folder without doing the Nginx-Configuration. I open localhost in browser and the page loaded. I can run the test however what is the test for? WAN or LAN?

Thanks.

@tvcat OST will test the speed between you and the hosted server. I have never used Laragon. Make sure it uses HTTP/1.1, POSTs to static files, or returns 200 after receiving the POST body contents for /upload. The POST body size should be 35MB or more.

@openspeedtest Thanks for reply. Yes, it can do all that without setting the OpenSpeedTest as server. My question is, I didn't do any OpenSpeedTest server hosting setup but I can run the test. What is the host that the test run against? Is it the storage speed?

[openspeedtest]

If you run a speed test from the same machine, it will send and receive data to itself, resulting in very high numbers. If you use any other device as a client on the same network, it will be a LAN speed test.

@openspeedtest I see, thanks for your help.
