# 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.
