Build a Real Speedtest in Vanilla JS with Cloudflare API

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer created a lightweight internet speed test using only HTML, CSS, and ~250 lines of JavaScript, leveraging Cloudflare's public API. The tool measures ping, download, and upload speeds without any dependencies or tracking scripts. It delivers accurate results in under 50 KB and runs on any device.

Meridian48 take
While the project is a neat demonstration of vanilla JS and Cloudflare's API, it's a personal experiment rather than a production-ready tool, lacking the scale and reliability of established speed tests.
