How can you slow down the website loading speed using a browser?

In Developer Tools, there is usually a "Network" tab. On this tab, there is a dropdown or slider to simulate different connection speeds, such as:
- No throttling
- Fast 3G
- Slow 3G
- Custom (Configurable speed)
By selecting one of these presets or customizing your speed (upload, download, latency), you can simulate low bandwidth and increase the website's load time. After choosing the connection type, you need to reload the page to see the effect.
This is useful for:
- Testing performance and load speed on slow internet.
- Identifying issues with asynchronous content loading.
- Assessing site behavior under high latency conditions.
Example of usage in Chrome DevTools:
- Open DevTools (F12).
- Go to the "Network" tab.
- Find the "Throttling" dropdown menu next to the record button (red circle) or in the top menu of the tab (may be an icon of a phone/tablet for Device Mode, with throttling options inside).
- Select the desired speed (e.g., "Slow 3G").
- Reload the page (F5).
In Firefox and other browsers, the process is similar, but the placement of options may differ slightly.
