Abstract
Disclosed are various examples for facilitating network speed testing on behalf of a client device that is in communication with a management service. A network testing profile can be obtained which specifies a network testing schedule for execution of a network test with a network testing endpoint. The client device can generate a test result associated with the network testing schedule based upon an exchange of at least one test packet with the network testing endpoint. In an instance in which it is determined that a network speed between the client device and the network testing endpoint fails to meet a threshold, an amount of network bandwidth usage by the client device can be reduced.
