If you own a Blog and want to check the Speed with your local Linux Computer use a commandline tool called curl.
Open a Terminal and enter:
curl -o /dev/null -s -w 'Connect: %{time_connect}\nStart Transfer: %{time_starttransfer}\nTotal: %{time_total}\n' https://www.yourdomain.de
System Echos:
Connect: 0,084774 Start Transfer: 0,173280 Total: 0,228651
