From 28.8 To Broadband: Web Site Speed Emulator
WebSpeed Simulator helps you design more efficient web pages by previewing your Web page at the speed of real world dial-up connections. You can avoid designing pages that look great on your LAN but are too slow for the real internet. If you use Flash or Java you can preview how it will load in conjunction with the rest of your site. Errors that might not be visible during design, are readily identified. This saves you design time because you can preview off-line and simulate any connection speed more efficiently. Most designers only see their web site design at full speed on a company LAN or hard disk. The reality is that real world connections are much slower especially on the other side of the world or on a busy day at peak times. Your customers may be having to wait for 80% of the page and graphics to download before they see anything but a blank page.
