Custom Connections – Have GTmetrix load your site like your visitors do

Throttling your connection when generating GTmetrix reports is a good practice to ensure your website loads well for each type of connection your users may have.

Not all Internet connections are made equal – along with our updated connection speeds, Developer Toolkit users can now create Custom Connection speeds to better reflect their visitors’ experience.

Developer Toolkit users can create a list of common connection speeds visitors use to load your site.
