A lightweight, real-time network speed monitor for your GNOME Shell top panel. Displays upload and download speeds with minimal CPU overhead. Network use: only while the menu is open, it looks up your public IP via api.ipify.org (fallback icanhazip.com) and measures connection quality with a small HTTPS request to Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) every 30 seconds. Opening the speed test page loads a list of nearby public speedtest.net servers; the test itself only runs when you press Start. Nothing is sent in the background while the menu is closed.
