G'day all,

I need to test a webserver but I need to slow down the data to about
1mb. I am on a fftc so I am not seeing a real world.
Any ideas how to do this simply?
I would say "why bother" - you can get a feel for performance of pages
simply by comparing the relative timings, and the size of data downloaded.
Because I am about to increase the number of products shown on a page and want to know how it impacts the user experience
Also "why?". If the website is built well and performing efficiently all
that rate limiting it will do is make the big chunks of data take longer
to slow down.
It is built well and the increase of say 10 products per page to 100 is negligible in processing but maybe large for the user Ideally I would like to get all the products out on one page which is 3000 in a single category.
