Ah the Waveform test is ours! I've been meaning to post it properly to HN since we launched it.

It's far from being a perfect bufferbloat/latency under load test, and there's lots of room to improve it, but we built it when DSL Reports seemed to be running a little unreliably.

We actually use Cloudflare and Fastly on the backend for latency/speed testing. We built and host the test for free mostly because I wanted it, but I justified the dev time as it being very-roundabout marketing for us - so if you ever need a signal booster or MIMO antenna for 5G internet, looks us up :).

In some cases, the upload portion of the waveform test appears to be broken, btw. I worry that underneath it has switched from cubic to BBR and is thus understanding what a normal user actually experiences.

Otherwise I still feel yours is the best web based latency under load test out there! Thank you for creating it and keeping it going so long! (Can I have you add preseem, libreqos, etc, to the FAQ?)

Hey, I love that tool. Use it all the time at our Wisp installs. And it's easy to point clients to it and have them send me the results. If you need donations to keep it going please reach out.
