Using a VPN *could* affect speed. With a VPN you don't connect directly to the site you are trying to reach. Instead, you encrypt your traffic and send it to the VPN service where it is decrypted and sent to the site. A good VPN service should be very fast but if it isn't then it would show in the speedtest.
Easy enough to check - simply disable the VPN and run the speedtest to see if it makes a difference.
