Checking network throttling profiles
When emulating a device, we not only check how the theme looks, but we also need to check network-throttling profiles. We can do it using Google DevTools as well. We can also custom throttles in case we want to add more information.
When we throttle, we limit the speed and response time. Furthermore, we can also see how throttling works while emulating the device. We can see how the network connectivity works and we can select the items that we want to test. Here are some steps that we have to follow:
