SPEEDTEST-GO(1)

💖 SPEEDTEST-GO 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're measuring your internet and we're doing it gorgously. this is speedtest-go, the tool that talks to speedtest.net and tells you exactly how fast your wifi is being today. the manual name is speedtest-go and the section is 1 (User Commands), so if you ever cite it at a party you say SPEEDTEST-GO(1). slay.

✨ NAME ✨

speedtest-go — Test Internet Speed using speedtest.net 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

the whole vibe of how you run it:

usage: speedtest-go [<flags>]

that's it. that's the whole usage. no positional args, just vibes and flags. 💅

🎀 Flags:

every single one, in order, nothing skipped, periodt:

• --[no-]help — shows the context-sensitive help. also try --help-long and --help-man if you want the extended lore. 🫶
• -l, --[no-]list — shows all the available speedtest.net servers. window shopping, but for servers.
• -s, --server=SERVER ... — pick a server id to run the speedtest against. and yes, the ... means you can list more than one, no cap.
• --custom-url=CUSTOM-URL — instead of fetching the server list from speedtest.net, you just hand it the url yourself. main character behavior.
• --[no-]saving-mode — runs the test with fewer resources, BUT the accuracy drops (especially above 30Mbps). it's giving "budget friendly, slightly delulu". 😭
• --[no-]json — spits the results out in json format.
• --[no-]jsonl — spits the results out in jsonl format — that's one json object per line, iykyk.
• --[no-]unix — outputs the results in unix like format.
• --location=LOCATION — change the location using a precise coordinate — the format is lat,lon, don't forget the comma bestie.
• --city=CITY — change the location using a predefined city label. cozier than coordinates.
• --[no-]city-list — lists every predefined city label so you can see your options. ✨
• --proxy=PROXY — set a proxy (http[s] or socks) for the speedtest.
• --source=SOURCE — bind a source interface for the speedtest.
• --[no-]dns-bind-source — DNS request binding source. heads up: this one is experimental, so treat it gently. 🙈
• -m, --[no-]multi — enables multi-server mode. more servers, more chaos, more fun.
• -t, --thread=THREAD — sets the max number of concurrent connections (upload adapts automatically; default cap 8). so you can crank it, but there's a ceiling, babe.
• --search=SEARCH — fuzzy search servers by a keyword. type something vague, it'll figure it out.
• --ua=UA — set the user-agent header for the speedtest. dress it up however you like.
• --[no-]no-download — disables the download test. we're skipping that part, and that's valid.
• --[no-]no-upload — disables the upload test. same energy, other direction.
• --ping-mode="http" — choose the method used for Ping. it supports icmp, tcp, and http. the default is "http".
• -u, --unit=UNIT — sets the human-readable and auto-scaled rate units for the output. your options are: decimal-bits, decimal-bytes, binary-bits, binary-bytes. pick your aesthetic. 🌈
• --filter-cc=FILTER-CC ... — filters servers by Country Code(s) — again with the ..., so stack as many as you want.
• --[no-]mask-isp — masks sensitive info (that's your IP address and your coordinates) in the ISP output. privacy queen behavior. 👑
• -d, --[no-]debug — enables debug mode. for when you need to see everything.
• --[no-]version — shows the application version. quick little flex check.

and that's the whole page bestie, every flag accounted for, nothing left behind. this was speedtest-go 1.7.11-2, dated August 2026 — go test your internet and tell me the numbers, I'm literally obsessed. 💜💖✨
