I recently found this old thread by @blur13:
https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/speedtest-cli-py-does-not-work/
and wanted to give this command line speedtest-cli a try.
It uses a similar algorithm, I think, as speedtest.net on a modern browser.
My impression: It is very simple to use, very fast, and very light on resources. No browser needed.
In install:
sudo apt install speedtest-cliTo run, simply type in terminal:
speedtest-cliI compared speedtest-cli to speedtest.net on a modern browsers. The numbers are similar, but not the same. If you read the output for speedtest.net on a browser, the ping server that speedtest.net uses is very close to your present location. I think modern browsers are good at guessing your location. The ping server that speedtest-cli chooses is not as close as that of speedtest.net. Perhaps that is why the numbers are not the same.
But close enough. Considering the speed and ease of use, I have been using the speedtest-cli command.
