@slightlylate what's your go to setup for testing slow connections and devices?
WPT uses dummynet(4). DevTools uses IPC throttling between the browser and renderer processes, which is less accurate and can't emulate everything (e.g. packet loss).

MacOS has a dummynet configuration app in XCode (called "Network Link Conditioner"): https://nshipster.com/network-link-conditioner/ … Pat Meenan also made a Windows equivalent called winShaper:https://calendar.perfplanet.com/2016/testing-with-realistic-networking-conditions/ …

Googler's have access to WIFI SSIDs that are pre-configured with aggressive link conditioning, so for us testing public sites, we can just put a slow device on one of those slow networks. Otherwise, best case scenario is WPT.
