How Does Chrome DevTools Network Throttling Actually Work?
Learn what Chrome network throttling looks like behind the scenes and how it compares to system-level throttling with tools like Apple's Network Link Conditioner. Try our free website speed test:… How Does Chrome DevTools Network Throttling Actually Work?

Many developers misinterpret what the DevTools performance test results tell them. My video below explains how Chrome implements network throttling and how it impacts your data.

Neither the bandwidth nor the latency implementation match what you'd see on a real slow network.

Only one month until State of the Browser, and I will once again be organising, but this year I’ll be there in-person! 🥳

Looking forward to amazing talks, meeting old pals, and making new ones. Less than 15 in-person tickets left. Hope to see you there!

Unusual Rotations (January 2026): Grunge I've come up with a fun, new project to work on over the course of this year, and maybe you’ll join me!

Are you a fan of #grunge? Tell me what to listen to this month!

I’m dedicating each month this year to spending some time exploring and listening to music from genres outside my usual rotations, with one genre per month.

The roof of my apartment has a leak, and building management could not be more reluctant to actually fix it.
Anyway, I've spent the last eight hours mopping up under leaking walls, piling towels against skirting boards, and doing laundry.
*Awesome* Friday! 🤙

This is AMAZING!
Absolutely *love* the animation scenes, the light/dark colour schemes (and colour choices) are gorgeous, and I *must* say that the level of attention to detail to go so far as to customise even the illustrations to match the colour scheme is just chef’s kiss! 👨‍🍳👌

Color Scheming It’s been about a year and a half since I changed how colour schemes (i.e., light and dark themes) work on my website, and after reviewing and refactoring things again recently, I thought I would shar...

🌞 Colour Scheming 🌝

Published a new article on the ol’ blog. In this one, I talk about how I manage colour schemes on my website, walking through how to build a hierarchy of how colour schemes can be applied while respecting visitors’ colour scheme preferences.

I *loved* Silo. One of the best shows I've watched in a good while. I also watched Fallout around the same time, which was definitely interesting to compare. Can't wait for both shows' 2nd series!
