Unable to view custom man file on MacOS

I added a man file in man path but when I'm trying to read through man command; I'm getting "No Manual entry for command".

O/P of man --path

/opt/local/share/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/share/man:/Library/Apple/usr/share/man:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/share/man:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/share/man:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/share/man

O/P of man /usr/local/share/man/man1/speedtest.5.gz

    SPEEDTEST()                                                        SPEEDTEST()

       for testing the speed and performance of your internet connection.

Description

       loss,  download  bandwidth, and upload bandwidth of the network connec-
       tion between the client and a nearby Speedtest Server.
.......

O/P of man speedtest

No manual entry for speedtest

Please help.

Update: The issue was due to usage of section 5 suffix in section 1 directory. Renamed the man file to speedtest.1.gz and it works. Thanks @Mark Setchell for helping.

Rename the section 5 suffix to section 1 as the man file is in section 1 directory.
