Hi Rishi

This isn't quite the right thing (although it should like a good niche for someone to start an auto-testing tool!) but you could look at 'web proxies'.

A web proxy 'views' your site from another location and sends you the resulting page, so you can see how quickly (or slowly) things load by routing them though other countries.

Secondly, if you use a Mac (there's a way of doing htis on Windows too, but I don't know it) you can artificially 'throttle' your local connection to any speed you wish:

In Terminal:

sudo ipfw pipe 1 config bw 15KByte/s

creates a pipe that only allows up to 15KB/s to go through.

Then:

sudo ipfw add 1 pipe 1 src-port 80

will attach that pipe to the outgoing traffic on port 80, effectively limiting the outgoing traffic of the web server.

sudo ipfw delete 1

will remove the pipe from the port.

Good luck!

Hi Rishi

I see what you mean!

That is going to be tricky - I would suggest a tab on left or right-hand side with:

"Rate our speed"

Which simply pops out and lets users rate 1-5 or similar. Then you can co-relate speed ratings with ISPs (by logging their IP addresses).

I'm afraid some sort of automated version doesn't exist to my knowledge - but some enterprising individual might reply and correct me!
