Answer 1

You can use php's sleep($seconds) function to slow down a page load. However, you would need to turn implicit output buffer flushing to "on" with ob_implicit_flush(true); if you want anything to be sent to the user's browser before the page is done being processed. Otherwise your page won't have ANY contents until it's done loading. Calling sleep alone won't do the trick.

Call sleep() in your PHP code to delay the request to the server.
