+# Simulating Various Connection Speeds
+
+I spend everyday building web apps from a machine that has a wired
+connection to the internet. Though I spend a lot of time loading various
+pages and experiencing the app like a user might, I end up having a pretty
+narrow perspective. What will this app be like for people on various
+qualities of mobile connections?
+
+Chrome has a feature built in to its devtools that makes it easy to throttle
+your connection to simulate various speeds. Open up devtools with
+`Cmd+Opt+J`, navigate to the _Network_ tab, and then open the throttling
+drop down.

+From here we can select the connection speed we want to simulate. If we then
+reload the page, we will not only experience the page load at that speed, we
+will also see the numbers in that _Network_ tab.
