We used to have a direct link to check internet speed now it's not there
We used to have a direct link to check internet speed on a direct cable connection from the Support Menu/Internet, now when I go to the location on the website, it shows me 2 images that asks to download an App from Google, I'm assuming for a mobile phone WiFi connection. I scrolled further down the page and there's nothing to take me to the location on Cox.com that allows me to test my connection speed on a desktop computer with an ethernet connection. What happened to that URL?

Not sure if it's what you are looking for, but try here and click on "Run a Ookla speed test".

While I occasionally use the Cox link, I prefer to load Speedtest on my PC. It is more accurate that way than running in a browser. I normally test 3 ways: 1) Speedtest on my wife's PC which uses ethernet. 2) Testing with the Google app via my router. 3) Speedtest on my PC which is presently on WiFi. I also make a point of turning VPN off before testing. Right now I'm seeing the following: Cox - 282 mbps, Speedtest on WiFi - 356, Google direct - 560.
