Slow down connection for Browser for testing

I am developing a JS+CSS+HTML Webapplication that is deployed on a local Apache. For debudding, I want to simulate a slow connection.

What is the best way to do that? I am not looking for a way to slow down my actual connection, just the loading this page (e.g. a Chrome/Opera Extension or an Apache module)

Solution

  • If you are on a Mac, this might be of interest - it allows you to simulate different network conditions.

    Speed Limit is a System Preferences pane for intentionally and selectively slowing down specific ports and domains
