speed-test: Output the results as JSON.
$ speed-test --json
try on your machine

The speed-test --json command is used to perform a network speed test and report the results in JSON format.

Here's a breakdown of the command components:

  • speed-test: This is the name of the program or utility that executes the network speed test. It measures various metrics related to network bandwidth, latency, and other network performance indicators.
  • --json: This is an option or flag used with the speed-test command. It instructs the program to output the test results in the JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. JSON is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for computers to parse and process.

Combining these components, running the speed-test --json command will initiate the network speed test and generate the test results in JSON format. The specific details included in the JSON output may vary depending on the speed-test tool being used, but it typically includes metrics such as download speed, upload speed, latency, and other network performance parameters.
