I'm changing the hosting for my site.

I want to do before and after speed tests.

I can of course search for 'site speed test' and there are plenty of tools I can use.

But is there any better or more comprehensive way to measure performance than this?

this is vague in the extreme. Is any more information available, like what your hosting ? what O/S, maybe hardware, etc. – Sirex Jan 19 at 11:33

You can see the time taken by your server to process and give the results of an request to the browser through WebPageTest.

It is the best way to check site speed.

I would initiate a large file transfer with FTP and see the average transfer speed on both platforms. There is also a tool that exists which is called iperf. I know it is used to audit networks, but I have never used it yet.

FTP transfer while uploading a file, and then downloading. You're gonna have the live transfer rate. – PatrickCUDO Jan 19 at 11:34
