Hi, When i go to speedtest net, the secure browser adblock is off. So, i doubt, that the site has been compromized by attackers and it even made default settings of adblock feature adblock to off position. i clicked on it but could not revive. Moreover, when i see the adblock tab in the menu, the adblock is in green, ie enabled position. Please check.

It is not likely to be the website, although it is well known malware can infect any website for a short time only, literally minutes, mostly to avoid detection.  No issues visiting site here a few minutes ago.  Always best to run a browser sandboxed.

See attached below:

Possibility exists problem could be your router, as you've noted unwanted redirects in this topic:  https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=222348.0

Affected (wireless) routers are published in both links.  Note the affected area primarily seems to Brazil atm but that can change.
