September 17th, 2009
Have you ever tried one of your websites from a slow connection? Is load-time acceptable? Does the site work at all? If you use a lot of scripting and ajax-calls you might end up with a website that doesn’t work because scripts are timing out or wait for other scripts to finish (which even could crash browsers). How do you test from a slow connection? Check out mod_cband; bandwidth throttling for Apache.
Installation is quite easy; there’s a perfect howto available on Howtoforge.
