WebSpeed - Windows Network Speed Monitor

A lightweight Windows application that monitors your network upload and download speeds in real-time, displaying them in the system tray.

Features

• Real-time network speed monitoring (updates every 1 second)
• System tray icon with live speed display (↓ download ↑ upload in kbps)
• Detailed stats window on click
• Supports both WiFi and Ethernet connections
• Minimal resource usage
• Windows 11 compatible

Installation

Option 1: Installer (Recommended)

1. Download WebSpeed Setup X.X.X.exe from the release folder
2. Run the installer and follow the setup wizard
3. The app will start automatically and appear in your system tray

Option 2: Portable Version

1. Download the portable version from the release folder
2. Extract and run WebSpeed.exe directly (no installation required)

Building from Source

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the application
npm run build

# Run in development mode
npm run dev

# Create Windows installer/portable executable
npm run dist:win

Note for Windows builds: The build creates both an NSIS installer and a portable executable. If you encounter code signing extraction errors:

1. Run the terminal as Administrator (recommended for NSIS installer)
2. Or use the portable .exe file which doesn't require code signing

Usage

• The app runs in the background and displays speeds in the system tray tooltip
• Click the tray icon to open/close the detailed stats window
• Right-click the tray icon for options (Exit, etc.)

Requirements

• Windows 10/11
• Node.js 18+ (for development)

Notes

• Icon: The assets/icon.ico file is a placeholder. For production, replace it with a proper Windows .ico file (recommended sizes: 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 256x256). You can create one using online tools or image editing software.
