I'm currently remote-debugging a website on my iPhone using Safari v8 and need to simulate different network speeds.

The Chrome Developer Tools have the functionality to throttle the network connection (simulate 3G, wifi etc.) or even to completely switch it off.

Does the Safari Web Inspector have similar functionality?

At the moment I'm getting around it by just switching off my wifi as I just need to test no network for now, but might need the functionality in the future.

There is currently not a way to do that natively in Safari but you might try using something like Charles Proxy that can throttle your browser or system connection (win, mac, linux).
