Simulate how fast or slow your Web site will be over the Internet or across the WAN.
Slow web pages lose and frustrate users. Amazon found every 100ms of latency cost them 1% in sales. Latency matters. The Aptimize Latency Simulator is designed for "non-experts", developers, operations and business people to quickly see how fast or slow their website will be over the Internet or across the WAN.
i've been looking for something like this for ages

Pros
Easy to install and use straight away. Nice useful interface that the non technical user can understand.
Cons
Would like to see a Firefox extension of this tool.
Summary
Allows me to illustrate website speed to my clients and provide them with a tool to monitor their sites. Its often difficult to communicate this issue especially when the client thinks their website is fast for everyone when its fast for them. This add-on will help me educate non technical clients about latency.
