I've had a couple of requests from web designers for a "modem simulator" for
the lack of a better term, and I wanted to get some feedback from web
designers on the list.
The problem is its difficult to know how a particular web page will take to
load at a particular connection speed, and its cumbersome to have to go and
hook up a modem and other types of connections. This software would connect
to your browser, and would simulate different connection types. This way you
could browse your web site and get a perceptual understanding of how it would
feel to your 56K modem users.
Other possible features include:
* Timing web page loading times at each connection, and graphing the changes
in load time v.s. bandwidth.
* Recoding web page interactions for later playback at any connection speed.
You could watch how a browsing session would look to any type of bandwidth
user.
* Built-in image reduction algorithms, with the ability to estimate the
affect on page load time at each bandwidth.
The pertinent question is this something that we'd sell 100 or 10,000 copies?
Finding people that think this is useful is one thing, but its another to
build something that web designers just have to buy. The other big question
is if this product is already available?
