pccarver Posted December 13, 2014 CID Share Posted December 13, 2014 Looking at using TMN Mercury test, but I don't understand how to copy a website image. In the Mercury directions it says right/control click to "copy image address" but either I don't understand the directions or it doesn't work on my chromeos chromebook. Any help would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted December 14, 2014 CID Share Posted December 14, 2014 Give me an example of the site you're trying to use and I'll provide screenshots. In the first version of Mercury I'm just trying to get things laid out... I have no idea yet how I'm truly going to layout and display the information yet... needed to gather information first. To gather information people need to use it... for people to use it they need something to use. Catch 22. So I'm sorry if it's not very user friendly, early stages.

pccarver Posted December 14, 2014 Author CID Share Posted December 14, 2014 Can you describe the specific keystroke or combination of keys used to "copy image address"? Also what os and browser are you using to copy/paste the image address into Mercury? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right click your mouse on the image Once copied paste into Mercury (the example wouldn't work because the image is too small. 200 kB is a great size but any image over 50 kB will work.) Chromebook copy and paste may help too ... I think two finger click is your right click. (MacBooks are like this too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pccarver Posted December 15, 2014 Author CID Share Posted December 15, 2014 OK, 2 finger tap does let me "copy image URL" using chromebook. Pasted into Mercury and ran test. Now help me to understand from where, to where the Mercury SmarTest was run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted December 15, 2014 CID Share Posted December 15, 2014 Now help me to understand from where, to where the Mercury SmarTest was run. from s1.dlnws.com (the domain hosting the image you entered) to your computer. Your testing your speed vs the source hosting the image that you enter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted December 15, 2014 CID Share Posted December 15, 2014 Here's what I got from that source. :::.. Download Speed Test Result Details ..::: Download Connection Speed:: 25587 Kbps or 25.6 Mbps Download Speed Test Size:: 100.9 MB or 103321 kB or 105801144 bytes Download Binary File Transfer Speed:: 3198 kB/s or 3.2 MB/s Tested At:: http://TestMy.net Version 14 Validation:: https://testmy.net/db/sixSBJA Client Stats:: https://testmy.net/quickstats/CA3LEhttps://testmy.net/compID/4602014672148 Test Time:: 2014-12-14 20:45:41 Local Time Client Location:: Pike Ntl Forest, CO US https://testmy.net/city/pike_ntl_forest_c Target:: s1.dlnws.com https://testmy.net/mX/39qS4 Client Host:: Comcast Cable https://testmy.net/hoststats/comcast_cable Compare:: 76% slower than client avg, 6% faster than host avg, 72% slower than city avg, 41% faster than country avg, 144% faster than world index 1MB Download in 0.32 Seconds - 1GB Download in ~5 Minutes - 457X faster than 56K This test of exactly 103321 kB took 33.093 seconds to complete User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKit/600.2.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0.2 Safari/600.2.5 [!] You're running a max of 6 Mbps so it's not as noticeable for you but anyone faster than ~ 20 Mbps would probably suffer testing against that address... at least using the route I took. Different clients using different routes may produce better or worse results. iceb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
