Use a launcher like HAL launcher and side load the speed test app. You will need to use the joystick of the controller to act like a mouse to navigate the app.
i just downloaded the speedtest app's apk and uploaded to gdrive, open gdrive on sheild and install

Install both to install Speediest and the leanback launcher shortcut.
Everyone here that is saying speed testing through a web site is incorrect if you are trying to measure your LAN/Wifi Speed. That is simply going to measure your Internet connection speed.
The best way to do this for your internal Wifi/LAN network is to utilize Iperf3.
You will want to sideload install an android iPerf3 apk on your shield and Iperf3 on your remote client that is accessing your shield if you are using it as a server.
Here's a good guide on how to use Iperf:

This is a bit older, so the commands for Iperf3 are "iperf3 -s" vs "iperf -s".
Are you talking about your internet upload speed or network upload speed?
If the latter, check out the app "Wifi Speed Test" on the Google Play Store. It will need to be sideloaded, but it works with a remote/controller.
This app allows you to test your network's upload/download speeds from your Shield to another device (ie. your PC) on the network.
It
testmy.net dont require plugins and tests upload speeds.
You can also sideload the app and us the tv app repo app off the playstore to create tv launcher shortcut.
