What is Network Speed Test?
The Network Speed Test skill is a lightweight, robust utility designed for developers and system administrators who need to verify network performance directly from their terminal. Built with a focus on portability, this Openclaw Skills entry relies strictly on the Python standard library, requiring no external packages or third-party API keys to function.
By leveraging Cloudflare speed test endpoints and public DNS servers, the skill provides highly accurate measurements for download speed, upload speed, and multi-host latency. It is an essential tool for baseline benchmarking and diagnosing network bottlenecks within automated workflows or manual troubleshooting sessions.
Network Speed Test Use Cases
- Diagnosing slow internet connections or high latency during development.
- Benchmarking network performance across different environments or cloud regions.
- Monitoring connection stability by measuring jitter across multiple public DNS providers.
- Integrating network health checks into CI/CD pipelines or automated Openclaw Skills workflows.
How Network Speed Test Works
- The script initiates TCP connection requests to high-availability targets like Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), Google (8.8.8.8), and Quad9 (9.9.9.9) to calculate latency and jitter.
- For download testing, the tool fetches a payload from Cloudflare speed test endpoints, calculating Mbps based on the transfer time of the specified data size.
- For upload testing, it streams a data payload back to the endpoint to measure outbound throughput.
- All metrics are aggregated and can be output as human-readable text or structured JSON for programmatic consumption within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem.
Network Speed Test Setup
To use this skill, ensure you have Python 3 installed. No pip installation is required as it uses the standard library.
# Navigate to the skill directory
cd network-speed-test
# Run a full diagnostic test
python3 scripts/speed_test.py --all
Network Speed Test Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill provides structured output, particularly useful when using the --json flag. The schema organizes data into the following categories:
| Category | Metrics Included |
|---|---|
| Latency | Average, Min, Max, and Jitter per host (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9) |
| Download | Speed measured in Mbps based on selected buffer size |
| Upload | Speed measured in Mbps based on outbound payload |
| Metadata | ISO Timestamp of the test execution |
Network Speed Test Advanced Features
- Custom payload sizing allows users to specify test sizes (e.g., 50MB) to bypass temporary ISP bursting.
- JSON output mode enables seamless integration with other Openclaw Skills for automated reporting.
- Multi-host latency targeting provides a more comprehensive view of network routing than single-host pings.
- Zero-dependency architecture ensures the skill runs in restricted or minimal environments like Docker containers or bare-metal servers.
