Why use this over the Network Throttle in Browsersync?

Network throttle is a site-wide setting, but sometime you just want to simulate a slow response for certain assets/urls. For example, when developing a gallery feature for a website & you're trying to nail the loading animations and 'waiting' states, it can be helpful to add a short delay to the image request.

Pre-defines routes.

You can add/edit routes in the 'Plugins' section of the UI, but if you want to always begin with some pre-defined ones, configure it like this.

var bs = require('browser-sync').create();

bs.init({
    server:  './app',
    plugins: [{
        module: 'bs-latency',
        options: {
            routes: [
                {
                    route: '/json',
                    latency: 5000,
                    active: true
                }
            ]
        }
    }]
});
