Do I need to install anything to embed the speed test?

No. The widget is a simple iframe — there is nothing to install, no API key, and no account. Paste the HTML snippet anywhere on your site and it works immediately, including inside WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, and most page builders.

Embed a Free Speed Test on Your Website

Q: Is the embeddable speed test free?

Yes, it is completely free for any website. Copy the embed code and paste it into your page. We ask only that you keep the 'Powered by SpeedTestHQ' attribution link, which is included in the snippet.

Run a Speed Test

Give your visitors a real internet speed test — download, upload, ping, and jitter — without building one. Copy the snippet below and paste it anywhere on your site. No account, no API key, no installation. It's free; just keep the small attribution link.

1. Copy the embed code

Paste this into any page, post, or HTML block. It works in WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Ghost, and plain HTML.

<iframe src="https://speedtesthq.com/embed/"
        width="100%" height="540"
        style="border:0;max-width:480px"
        title="Internet Speed Test by SpeedTestHQ"
        loading="lazy"></iframe>
<p style="font-size:13px;text-align:center">
  Powered by <a href="https://speedtesthq.com/">SpeedTestHQ — Internet Speed Test</a>
</p>

2. Live preview

This is exactly what your visitors will see and use:

Customization

Width & height: change the width and height values on the iframe. width="100%" with max-width:480px keeps it responsive without stretching too wide.
Light theme: if your site has a light background, use src="https://speedtesthq.com/embed/?theme=light" to match.
Placement: the widget is self-contained — drop it in a sidebar, a blog post, a tools page, or a landing page. It loads lazily so it won't slow down your page.

Please keep the attribution link

The widget is free to use on any site. In return, we ask that you keep the "Powered by SpeedTestHQ" link that comes with the snippet — it's how we keep the tool free and maintained. The link is plain HTML in the snippet (not buried in the iframe), so it's a clean, visible credit on your page.

If you run the test and like it, a mention or link from a relevant article is always appreciated — and your readers get a genuinely useful tool either way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the embeddable speed test free?

Yes — completely free for any website. Copy the code and paste it in. We only ask that you keep the "Powered by SpeedTestHQ" attribution link included in the snippet.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It's a simple iframe — no installation, no API key, no account. Paste the HTML and it works immediately, including in WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, and most page builders.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The widget is responsive and runs the same download, upload, ping, and jitter test on phones, tablets, and desktops. Keep the iframe width at 100% so it fits your layout.

Will it slow down my page?

No. The iframe uses loading="lazy", so it only loads when it scrolls into view, and the test itself runs entirely in the visitor's browser.
