Here's an easy way to do it:
Want to make your website faster? Use a 3G connection when developing or testing. Chrome Dev Tools make this easy and you can also adjust the latency as needed.

One problem is of course that mobile networks vary greatly in both latency and bandwidth. A great resource on performance considerations for mobile networks is Ilya Grigoriks open book [1].
More often than I'd like, I'm trying to read different content "on the go," on the places where the environment blocks the 3G signal and I'm left with the "E" on the iPhone. There are pages that will load (like HN) and the pages that are just "forget it it will never even load."
That's the difference between "accessible" and "shiny but just forget it with the slow internet."
I don't use blockers. It seems that's why they are becoming necessary?
