How to Optimize Website Performance Using Network Throttling in Chrome DevTools

Many website visitors use slow internet connections, which can negatively impact user experience and hinder SEO. Optimizing website performance for slow connections can improve user experience, boost website traffic, and enhance SEO. Chrome DevTools' network throttling feature simulates slower network conditions to evaluate website performance under different scenarios.

What is Network Throttling?

Network throttling intentionally slows down internet speeds to test web applications under different network conditions. It works by adding a delay after a response is received. This can be useful for identifying performance bottlenecks, empathizing with users, and prioritizing content delivery.
