speed-test

The tool provides a command‑line interface that runs speed tests against the Speedtest.net service, returning download and upload rates as well as latency. It supports output in JSON format and can display results in megabytes per second, while a verbose flag supplies additional diagnostic details. The package is distributed as a Node.js module and requires version 12.20 or newer; it can be installed globally via npm.

Developers and system administrators who need to script or automate network performance checks can invoke the utility directly from a terminal or embed it in larger workflows. The JSON output enables easy parsing for logging, monitoring, or integration with other tools, and the alternative unit display accommodates different measurement preferences.

Unlike the default web interface, this wrapper offers a lightweight, text‑based experience that runs without a browser, making it suitable for headless environments or remote servers. The project is marked stable and includes a simple help command that lists the available options.
