speedtest-cli --bytes - Run a speed test using
HTTPS, instead ofHTTP:speedtest-cli --secure - Run a speed test without performing download tests:
speedtest-cli --no-download - Run a speed test and generate an image of the results:
speedtest-cli --share - List all
speedtest.netservers, sorted by distance:speedtest-cli --list - Run a speed test to a specific speedtest.net server:
speedtest-cli --server server_id - Run a speed test and display the results as JSON (suppresses progress information):
speedtest-cli --json
