WPM capable of simulating 3G speeds

cdelcastillo

Looking to see if there is any way for WPM to test site speed by simulating load times on a variety of mobile devices and browsers, as well as on different connection strengths?  Like Webpagetest.org does?

    The short answer is no, WPM only simulates IE (although they say they are working on expanding this), and it uses whatever the connection speed of your playback server is.  So unless you cooked up some way to throttle the network resources available to your playback server that's basically out.

    Hi cdelcastillo,

    I believe you can run something like itrinergy to simulate a crap network and run WPM from a box through that software/hardware.

    Alternately you could install a WPM player on a physical laptop with a wireless card or connected to a wireless network. If you do the later you'll probably need to set it to Player-Initiated-Communication
