Cloudflare Speed Test

Overview

The Cloudflare Speed Test custom component for Home Assistant allows users to monitor internet speed performance by conducting periodic speed tests using Cloudflare's test endpoint https://speed.cloudflare.com/. Users can configure the frequency of tests, the number of test runs, and the data limits to ensure optimal monitoring.

Note: The latency reported by this integration is only for connecting GET requests. It has nothing to do with the traditional ping latency.
