Use Chrome Developer Tools to Test Website Speed & Performance at Different Internet Connections

No matter how amazing your site is, website speed is critical to your website's success. Fast page loading leads to more conversions and overall better user experiences.

Unfortunately most designers and developers only have the perspective of what's happening at the comfort of their lightning fast wi-fi connections.

In order to get a realistic idea of how fast your website really loads for the end user, you can use Google Chrome's Developer Tools to get a better idea of how people with slow Internet experience your site.

This is especially important if a large percentage of your target audience is living outside of the big city life, where Internet connections are usually much slower.

Was this helpful to you?

I am trying to learn about CSS image fallbacks for devices with slower speeds but was having trouble to simulate a slow network. This was just what I needed. Thanks for the video good sir.

Hey man, your video greatly helps me on how to perform a speed test on my side without any tools!

I found your video after I wanted to see if my site will load faster without cloudflare (currently enabled). The reason for that research is because 95% of my audience is local and the server is also based in my country so there's a kind of a contradiction in my mind whether cloudflare currently improves or worsens load time.

But I don't know if I should touch the cache when I do the tests - I mean when I first do it, should I purge the site cache or i shouldn't touch anything and maybe wait a day for the cache to be created again before i do tests after disabling cloudflare.

Thoughts :D?
