Could you build this?

Partial Building a web performance audit runner is routine using Lighthouse or Playwright, but accurately simulating and measuring diverse African mobile network profiles (2G/3G/4G with packet drops) across distributed physical vantage points requires physical edge infrastructure.

What it would actually take: The architecture requires containerized Headless Chrome instances controlled via Chrome DevTools Protocol to measure Core Web Vitals and network traces. The hard part is deploying test probes across African ISPs or accurately modeling local network conditions (throttling profiles, high-latency satellite backhauls, jitter, and packet loss). It requires distributed infrastructure engineering and access to localized telecommunications routing data.
