Hello everyone, today I found a free and open source plug-in that can display real-time Internet speed on the taskbar on the computer in real time. It is very easy to use. What's more, it can actually display the temperature and percentage of the graphics card and CPU in real time, allowing you to know the performance of your computer well, which is not inferior to the paid master Lu desktop monitoring program.
Get it on my computer and have a look let's go OK.
First look at the renderings:
Look at the bottom right corner of my computer, you can see:
- Network speed: here is a network speed for uploading and downloading, and you can see uploading and downloading. And you can see that the total traffic used today is 104 megabytes, and then upload a few megabytes and download a few megabytes,
- You can see the memory utilization,
- The current CPU usage is 26%.
- For the graphics card, the current occupancy is 0 and 3,
- A graphics card temperature is 35 degrees.
- The memory usage is 15%,
- A CPU temperature is 40 degrees,
- The CPU frequency is 4.19G Hz.
So this small plug-in can display a status of your current computer on the taskbar in real time. It is very easy to use, and this little plug-in is very, very small, only about a few megabytes, and it is free of installation, supports Win 10 and Win 11, here is the download address of the software: GitHub - zhongyang219/TrafficMonitor
