What it measures
Numbers you can actually compare.
The same tools and parameters people already post on forums, so a result from your box lines up with everybody else's.
Disk
fio random read/write at 4k, 64k, 512k and 1m with the same settings as yabs, plus what the disk is: NVMe, SSD, HDD or a virtual disk.
Network
iperf3 upload and download, ping and packet loss against 12 public servers on five continents, over IPv4 and IPv6.
A real result
Every run gets a page like this.
The script prints a short link at the end. This is a real run, hover the bars for the exact numbers.

How it works
Runs anywhere, leaves nothing.
- 1
Paste the line
Plain bash and curl, as a normal user. No package manager, no root, no agent.
- 2
Wait a few minutes
Missing tools are fetched as static builds into a temp directory, checked against their sha256 sums and deleted at the end.
- 3
Read it or share it
Plain tables in your terminal, plus a link with charts and a preview image. Or keep it local with
--no-share.
Test locations
Five continents, 12 servers.
Every run tests against the same public iperf3 servers, so the network numbers mean the same thing from one result to the next. 17 with -x.
