Restricting bandwidth

Nov 25

So your Internet connection speed is super fast, but your client's isnt. To make sure you dont get carried away with bandwidth hungry pages test them all first using a slow down proxy.

Using Sloppy you can set your download limit to mimic a dial-up modem, and using a timer you can produce a rought estimate on how long a page will take to download.

Another application that simulates web speed is available from xar.com, this shareware app also gives download timings for each individual file.
