We've listed a few server IDs for each region we provide our services out of, these IDs can be used to then apply into the below command, speedtest -server-id= With earlier versions of speedtest-cli, it was possible to use a simple grep to find a list of servers for a certain region, but this is slightly different in the newer official SpeedTest CLI app, 11:22:47 (94.4 MB/s) - ‘/dev/null’ saved How to find speedtest servers in your VPSes location: Next, Let's run a wget based CacheFly speedtest file, here, we notice 94.4 MB/s (940 Mbps!), ~]# wget -O /dev/null Now, in both these cases with speedtest, we get around 930 - 790 Mbps. Server: Hivelocity - Los Angeles, CA (id = 19230)ĭownload: 874.93 Mbps (data used: 761.3 MB ) Server: BAI Connect - Los Angeles, CA (id = 18857)ĭownload: 937.12 Mbps (data used: 422.4 MB ) Next, we run a test with server #18857, ~]# speedtest -server-id=18857 GeoLocation of the VPS / Server IP does NOT affect its speed or its ping in reality! If your VPS / Server IP is not GeoLocated correctly to the physical location of the service, we can change the IP for free to another IP which is GeoLocated correctly. VPS "LA" is located in Los Angeles, California, but when looking up in SpeedTest for servers in Los Angeles, we see the distance as 3800+ KM! This is due to the GeoLocation of the VPSes IP address. Sudo yum install speedtest Ubuntu / Debianįor installation on Ubuntu or Debian, run the following command, sudo apt-get install curl Speedtest now has official apps CLI available now for running speedtests CentOS / Alma Linux / RockyLinuxįor installation on CentOS or Alma Linux or RockyLinux, run the following command, curl -s | sudo bash Installing SpeedTest CLI on your Linux Server SpeedTest selects your speed-test server based on your VPS or dedicated servers IP address GeoLocation.Īt times, your VPSes physical location may NOT match with the GeoLocation (which is set on the IP address), in these cases, SpeedTest auto selects a server that may be far away from your existing VPSes physical location, which then results in a wrong/incorrect result.
