HTTP and HTTPS

teknisyan opened this issue · comments

Hello,

Currently testing the librespeed and I notice that there is a difference in the performance and result of the speedtest if you use HTTPS and HTTP.

For HTTPS, the DOWNLOAD speed is slower than usual and the UPLOAD will run but will not give any result. But if I use HTTP, the DOWNLOAD will be faster and, more or less the same with other speed test website and the UPLOAD will run as normal.

Using HTTPS;
https

Using HTTP;
http

For now.. I set via web host not to use https but is there a way to keep https and sue speed test as usual.

Are you using a reverse proxy for HTTPS? I had that same problem with upload using nginx as a reverse proxy, and it was a configuration issue on the reverse proxy that cut the connection because of the size of the upload.

The lower speed result could be a momentary bandwidth thing, I have had some instances where my results are lower than expected, but doing another test shows me the correct speeds.

No, since I'm just using the built-in SSL that my provider is giving for free.

Did you try a server which is nearer? 12.000km is far away...
