Usage

To get speed test results, you need to create an instanse of 'SpeedCheckerPlugin' class, start 'startSpeedTest' method in your class and then listen to 'speedTestResultStream'.

  String _status = '';
  int _ping = 0;
  String _server = '';
  String _connectionType = '';
  double _currentSpeed = 0;  // real-time value of the current test speed (download or upload)
  int _percent = 0; 		 // real-time value of the current test progress (download or upload)
  double _downloadSpeed = 0;
  double _uploadSpeed = 0;
  String _error = '';
  String _warning = '';
  final _controller = SpeedCheckerPlugin();

You can start this method on custom event, such as button click.

  void getSpeedStats() {
    _controller.startSpeedTest();
    _controller.speedTestResultStream.listen((result) {
      setState(() {
        _status = result.status;
        _ping = result.ping;
        _percent = result.percent;
        _currentSpeed = result.currentSpeed;
        _downloadSpeed = result.downloadSpeed;
        _uploadSpeed = result.uploadSpeed;
        _server = result.server;
        _connectionType = result.connectionType;
        _error = result.error;
        _warning = result.warning;
      });
    });
  }

Do not forget to close the stream to prevent memory leaks. It can be done by overriding 'dispose' method

	@override
	  void dispose() {
		_controller.dispose();
		super.dispose();
	  }

FAQ

Is the SDK free to use?

Yes! But the SDK collects data on network performance from your app and shares it with Speedchecker and our clients. The free SDK version requires and enabled location. Those restrictions are not in the Basic and Advanced versions

Do you have also native SDKs?

Yes, we have both Android and iOS SDKs.

Does SDK support other types of tests?

Yes! YouTube video streaming, Voice over IP and other tests are there as well. Check out our API documentation

Do you provide free support?

No, we provide support only on Basic and Advanced plans

What are all the metrics or KPIs that you can get using our SDKs?

The free version of the SDK allows getting basic metrics which are described in this API documentation

Full list of our KPIs for Basic and Advanced versions

Do you host all infrastructure for the test?

Yes, you do not need to run any servers. We provide and maintain a network of high-quality servers and CDNs to ensure the testing is accurate. If you wish to configure your own server, this is possible on Basic and Advanced plans.

How do you measure the speed?
