I would like to host a speedtest service in my network that can be
used via web interface.

I have a number of access points and repeaters and some WiFi/network
issues: some devices in some places sometimes have bad connectivity.
I've been relying on public speed tests, but those introduce one
further potential problem: the internet connection. I need to use some
web UI, because it's the only true multiplatform thing that I can run
on all the devices. Do you know anything like this?

If it weren't for the web interface requirement, then iperf3 would be
ideal.

Perhaps you can wrapper it in a cgi-bin script?

Check out OpenSpeedTest.

LibreSpeed or openspeedtest are options that also work like speedtest
org

[librespeed](https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest) works well.

be careful if you let anyone else other than you use it - people love
to run speedtests when things feel slow,

...and then the speedtest slows down the connection for other people,
and the other people immediately start running speedtests (which slows
everything down even further)

...and then they all complain about how things are running slowly.
