An extension that lets you delay the response from specific URLs
What is URL Throttler?
"URL Throttler" is a powerful and user-friendly Chrome extension designed to provide control over the response speed from defined URLs. It offers the ability to add a delay in milliseconds to any specific URL without obstructing other requests, unlike other tools that throttle the network speed across all requests. It’s a perfect tool for developers and users who need customized network speed control on specific URLs.

Extension summary
Chrome Devtools allows you to throttle network speed across all network requests. However, if you want to slow down a specific URL while leaving others at normal speed, you're out of luck. Use this tool to achieve that. Install and specify the URL with a delay in milliseconds. Whenever the browser requests that URL, the response will be delayed by that amount of time. URLs not matching the ones you enter will behave as they normally would.

Works just like a charm ;)
Awesome extension. It helped me to debug an issue. Very easy to use!
Good and simple, not bloated (unlike "Requestly"). Works if you need a delay working on your daily browsing.
For development-time only, a similar extension "HTTP Request Blocker and Delayer" works only when DevTools panel is open; it also provides a bit more flexibility for each URL/rule (e.g. different delays).
Blocking multiple/parallel requests seems to be a Chrome API limitation, see the GitHub page for the "HTTP Request Blocker and Delayer" extension. Use Firefox instead.
