Thanks for Awesome mod!!
Maybe I'm in the minority, but one of the attributes I appreciate about Pi-Hole, is that is is purpose-built, without the superfluous bells-and-whistles. DNS and blacklisting is its core competency, and it does a bang-up, stable job at that.
I guess I go by the old adage "using the right tools for the job"; offloading to dedicated hardware/software (I use Pi-Hole instead of DNSBL on my dedicated firewalls).
That said, I simply use my TI(C|G)K Stack env., and setup dedicated probes & dashboards for monitoring everything...

For some reason your API (getSpeedData24hrs&PHP) does not work very well for me and if i try to curl it (curl 'http://localhost/admin/api.php?getSpeedData24hrs\&PHP') on my rpi I only get
How to use your API?
Does anyone know if this works with the new FTL interface?
I could not test it yet but is should work out fine
So if I run the pihole -a -sn it add's an entry to the speedtest dB, but since installing I have lost access to the settings page, getting error 500, going to try and revert it now and see if it starts working again.

That was fun,
Had to reset my GIT, and then force merge the FTL to get everything working again, time to take a backup I think

Same issue as @XcOM. Has a ton of merge conflicts and breaks the settings page.
Pi-hole Version vDev (FTLDNS, v3.3-181-ga7e7680) Web Interface Version vDev (FTLDNS, v3.2.1-195-g4355bde2-dirty) FTL Version vDev (FTLDNS, vDev-5ecab0a)
could you give me a hint on how to reset/remove it without traces?
Instructions are here pihole-speedtest/README.md at master · arevindh/pihole-speedtest · GitHub

Can this just get added to the main Pi-Hole code already? I don't think it is too out of scope (the Pi-Hole UI is already stats-heavy) and I find this addon complements the software nicely. It's not gonna grow (what else will you do with a speed test), and has relevance (think DNS resolution time). It's also just bloody useful. I get that it might be inaccurate above 100mbps (some have said above 60) but that is a limitation of speedtest itself. Also, plenty people in the world (think "3rd world" have speeds way lower than 100 or even 60. I for one am lucky if i get 10mbps on a good day. As someone else mentioned on this forum, it can be disabled by default (like the DHCP server, which I do not use). Making it part of the build will eliminate all the problems people encounter when upgrading modded builds. Just doo eet, listen to the people. Make a poll or something.

No. This is a fairly meaningless test, showing the speed of the specific device only. And it is completely outside the scope of Pi-hole, which is a domain based blocker, not a network management tool.
