'Is there a way to simulate / slow down asset loading in Rails?

I want to test a site in Rails as if it had a very slow internet connection, the js loads in 10 seconds after the page for example.

Is there a way to slow down the url for this for example:

<%= javascript_include_tag 'application' %>

All Google results cover slow load page times and how to speed them up, I'm finding it quite hard to Google how to do this.

On what device?

Simulate the situation I would say.

  • Connect the device to your phone as a hotspot and then choose the lowest speed on your phone for that device.

  • Visit ( GET ) via opera browser on vpn that is far from your location and secured, this slows down dramatically.

  • Visit your website via Tor browser

  • Do the 3 above at the same time.

Bonus: Go to starbucks, get the wi-fi connection and go sit as far as possible with losing basic connection.
