## Common questions

### In Cloudron, where do the extracted OpenSpeedTest files go?

After extracting OpenSpeedTest, files such as index.html need to sit directly inside the public directory.

### Why do self-hosted OpenSpeedTest results differ from one test to another?

Speeds can vary throughout the day because of network congestion, WiFi interference, device limitations, or browser differences. Running multiple tests at different times helps compare performance.

### Can self-hosted OpenSpeedTest help separate Wi-Fi problems from internet problems?

Yes, a self-hosted OpenSpeedTest server can be used to test Wi-Fi speed without internet usage affecting the result. If the local test is good but internet feels slow, the internet side is likely the issue.

### Can OpenSpeedTest be installed with Docker?

A guide describes setting up OpenSpeedTest in Docker to run a self-hosted network speed test server. It is aimed at home labs, VPS, and network troubleshooting.
