OpenSpeedTest Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy OpenSpeedTest on xCloud and get OpenSpeedTest hosting for a network speed test that measures real download, upload, ping and jitter against a server you control, not a third-party speed-test site. xCloud runs the pinned official image and the HTTPS reverse proxy in minutes, and there is no database or volume to set up because the service is stateless by design.

What is OpenSpeedTest?

OpenSpeedTest is a free and open-source HTML5 network performance estimation tool, written in vanilla JavaScript with no third-party frameworks. A self-hosted OpenSpeedTest measures browser-to-server download speed, upload speed, ping and jitter from any modern browser with no client software or plugin, as a self-run alternative to a hosted test such as Speedtest by Ookla. Upstream ships only static files, and the code is under the MIT licence.

On xCloud the install runs the official openspeedtest image, version tag v2.0.6 carrying the 2.5.4 application payload, pinned by digest, as one stateless container behind HTTPS on your domain. There is no database and no persistent volume. The app has no login of its own, and every test moves real data through your server, so restrict access if the endpoint should not be public.

From Sign-Up To A Live Speed Test In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting a browser speed test normally means a container, a domain and a certificate before the first test runs. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick OpenSpeedTest from the OneClick catalog. Enter a site title and choose a domain — there are no app-specific fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official OpenSpeedTest image, pinned by immutable digest, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain. There's no database and no persistent volume to mount — the service is stateless.
Step 03
Run A Test, Then Lock It Down
Open your HTTPS URL and run a bounded test to confirm download, upload, ping and jitter complete. OpenSpeedTest has no login of its own, so if this endpoint shouldn't be public, add xCloud Basic Authentication or IP Management before sharing the link.

Everything OpenSpeedTest Does, On Your Own Server

OpenSpeedTest runs in full here — a browser-based download, upload, ping and jitter test, on infrastructure you control.

Browser-Based Speed Test
Measure download speed, upload speed, ping and jitter straight from a modern browser, with no client software to install.
Your Own Test Endpoint
Point customers, offices, remote teams or field locations at a server you run instead of a shared third-party test site.
Genuinely Stateless
No database and no application data volume — nothing to back up or migrate for the app itself.
No Built-In Authentication
OpenSpeedTest has no login of its own. Add xCloud Basic Authentication or IP Management if the endpoint should not be public.
Proxy Sized For Speed Tests
The reverse proxy in front of the app accepts the larger request bodies and longer-held connections a bounded upload test needs.
Bandwidth Is Real Bandwidth
Every test moves real data through your server, so usage and egress cost scale with how often it runs and who can reach it.

What You Can Do With OpenSpeedTest

Test the link to your own server
Measure download, upload, ping and jitter between a browser and the server you actually run, so you know what customers or staff will get rather than what a shared test site reports.
Give offices and field sites a test page
Point remote teams, branch offices or customers at one URL that needs no client install, and ask them to send back the results for a bounded test.
Check a network change before you rely on it
Run the same test from the same browser before and after you change a router, a VPN or a hosting plan, and compare download, upload and jitter.
Add a gate when the endpoint should be private
Put xCloud Basic Authentication or IP Management in front of the page, because OpenSpeedTest ships with no access control and every test consumes bandwidth.

OpenSpeedTest vs Alternatives

Speedtest by Ookla: Speedtest by Ookla is a hosted speed-test service. As an alternative, OpenSpeedTest runs on your own server, so the test measures the path to a server you control instead of a third-party one.
LibreSpeed: In an OpenSpeedTest vs LibreSpeed comparison, LibreSpeed has its own OneClick page. Its catalogue entry describes a lightweight browser speed test for download, upload, ping and jitter, with no third-party analytics or telemetry attached.
Speedtest Tracker: Speedtest Tracker has its own OneClick page. It runs internet speed tests on a schedule and charts results over time, where OpenSpeedTest runs a test only when someone opens the page and starts one.
Uptime Kuma: Uptime Kuma has its own OneClick page. It watches whether services are up, while OpenSpeedTest measures how fast the path to your server is when a person runs a test.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

Brian Geovanny

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

Kevin Pineda

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud

Ed Ellingham

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.

Dumitru Butucel

xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.

Waqar Ahmed

Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍

Rahul Singh

So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Massimo Villa

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

Gerson El

I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.

Tony Lewis

I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.

Jared McDowell

I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently

Kevin Heinrichs

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.

Dan Spinoza

Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Rahil Maknojia

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

xCloud gave me what no other hosting platform could: the flexibility of a VPS with the convenience of managed WordPress. As a solo founder running an entire business on one server, that combination is an important unfair advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Can you self-host OpenSpeedTest with Docker?

Yes, and this template is OpenSpeedTest Docker hosting without the setup. Upstream also publishes an official Docker image project; here xCloud runs it pinned by digest, publishes it over HTTPS on your domain, and adds a proxy that allows the large upload requests a test needs.

How much RAM does OpenSpeedTest need?

The template asks for 512 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 2 GB of disk as a floor, and the idle service is lightweight. The 6 GB plan is the entry rung here, with room for active tests, which use CPU and bandwidth according to client speed and concurrency.

Does OpenSpeedTest have a login or password?

No. OpenSpeedTest has no built-in authentication at all. Anyone who can reach a public deployment can run a test and consume server bandwidth. If this endpoint should not be public, restrict it yourself with xCloud Basic Authentication or IP Management.

Enable Basic Authentication

How do I restrict who can reach my OpenSpeedTest server?

Add xCloud Basic Authentication for a simple username-and-password gate, or use xCloud IP Management to allow only specific addresses. Neither is enabled by default, because OpenSpeedTest ships with no access control, so decide before you share the link.

Whitelist or blacklist an IP address

Does an OpenSpeedTest test use real bandwidth?

Yes. Each test transfers real data through your server, so a public, unrestricted endpoint can use substantial bandwidth and create egress charges. Monitor usage, restrict access, and avoid running tests more often or at higher concurrency than your server and network plan can support.

Will large uploads fail behind a reverse proxy with OpenSpeedTest?

Upstream says a reverse proxy should accept request bodies of at least 35 MB and keep requests open for more than 60 seconds. The proxy xCloud puts in front of this template is set up so that the upload phase of a bounded test can complete.

Does OpenSpeedTest need a backup?

There is nothing app-specific to back up: the template has no database and no volume, so there is no volume to name or copy. Any browser-side preferences stay in the visitor's own browser. An xCloud Restart returns the same stateless service.

How do I upgrade OpenSpeedTest?

The install stays on its pinned image until you adopt a newer template version. Review the upstream image and application changes first. Existing sites are not upgraded automatically, and after any change you should verify HTTPS and run another bounded test.

Is OpenSpeedTest free?

Yes. OpenSpeedTest is free and open source under the MIT licence. Your costs are the Cloud VPS and the network bandwidth that tests consume, which depends on how often it runs and who can reach it.

Is OpenSpeedTest an alternative to Speedtest by Ookla?

For measuring the path between a browser and your own server, yes. OpenSpeedTest tests against the server you host it on, rather than a third-party network, and needs no client software. It does not report on other servers or on the wider internet.

Is there an OpenSpeedTest cloud service?

Upstream's own site hosts a public test, but this page is different: the container runs on a Cloud VPS that xCloud provisions, so your OpenSpeedTest cloud endpoint is a server you own, on your domain, with access rules you set.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
