So your Internet connection speed is super fast, but your client's isnt. To make sure you dont get carried away with bandwidth hungry pages test them all first using a slow down proxy.

Using Sloppy you can set your download limit to mimic a dial-up modem, and using a timer you can produce a rought estimate on how long a page will take to download.

Another application that simulates web speed is available from xar.com, this shareware app also gives download timings for each individual file.
