To be fair, there is a big advantage with using Netflix's fast.com speed test: Some ISP would have a list of speed test websites and unthrottle their connection to it. With Netflix's speedtest, if they do that, they also unthrottle Netflix as a whole.
Fast.com
Edit: most of this comment regarding fast.com is wrong
Fast.com only shows download speeds and likely has no app (which is especially helpful if you want to bypass the VPN).
Librespeed shows ping and jitter as well as up- and download speeds. Also you get a shareable picture/link of your speed test.
Fast.com shows ping, loaded ping and upload speed. It has a mobile app, but I didn't understand your point about VPNs. You also get a sharable picture if you know how to take a screenshot 😂
