speedtest can help you guage your internet connection.

the free command can help you guage your memory status.

as for CPU usage, there's a lot of [options][1] but i usually use the top command.

I like gkrellm, it does a lot of cool things, but there are other
tools that you can use to give you an idea of where you may be having
bottlenecks. I used to use xosview, its very simple and easy.
If you are at a console only, there is top, and cat /proc/meminfo

another way you can check is if you have another computer, phone or
other internet device that you can test with.
