I would like to add the speedtest.net mini to my website as well. I can get it so it looks and words good in the preview, but when I publish the page and navigate to it from the site, it never works. I get a black screen with ‘update your client’ on the screen.
Another issue I am having is my webpage and slug is set to Speedtest, but that is also the name of the folder containing the speedtest, so when people click on it, it shows them the directory on my webserver instead of loading the page. So then I made index.html from the php file included with the speedtest and put it in the speedtest folder. From there I get the same result as before, blank screen with the words ‘update your client’.
I searched heavily on google and wordpress forums with no luck. This is the only post that keeps coming up that is relevant. Hopefully we can get some feedback to get us up and running.

yeah all we did was pasted the code into the page. so you should be alright to go ahead for this to make it work.
