[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 124784, member: 3850"] I second that: Imagine a server sitting somewhere: If one person accesses something on there, the server can use all its bandwidth to serve that one person. Now imagine 20 people accessing that page - they all share that same bandwidth and thus the page loads slower. Now you have no way of finding out how many people access a single page at a time, unless you use a local server that only you can access. This is simpler than you might think: Go to your home folder -> Sites -> index.html and read the instructions there. Set up a page, enable personal web-sharing. Then hook up another computer to your mac via a network cable or wireless network and access the page you set up by entering your macs IP address in the web browser you want to test. Presto! You can perform the test you want and avoid the problems your teacher mentioned. [/QUOTE]
