Internet speed is for client not server

[tlunter]

Seeing as how the Internet Speed is just a JS function that downloads an image from google, the metric is for the client not the server.

This is pretty irrelevant on a server status page I would think.

Should be another PHP script that does something similar.

Hey,
Why i should go to my _server dashboard_ to see my internet connection speed ?

The dashboard is for server metrics, not yours.

Just checking here, @andreyknupp, but you're agreeing?

[andreyvital]

Nope, i'm not agreeing with your issue.

This is how the server dashboard currently gets internet connection speed. It downloads an image from google via your browser and never interacts with the server. The internet connection has absolutely nothing to do with the server at this point in time. Is that not what you're saying when you want server metrics and not yours?

Okay
Now i understand, that's because i don't have seen full project.

When i've read your issue, i say: "hey, what's going ? this guy is talking about show his connection speed at server dashboard", but not.

And now, re-reading the issue, you're absolutely correct.
Doesn't make any sense of downloading an image at client side and guessing it's server connection speed, whopz.

Thanks, @tlunter.
