How to purposely slow down a website?
Post Body

Recently in an interview, I was asked a question like this.

"Suppose you have built a website for your client. But he's not paying the fees regularly. Now you want to slow down his website but don't want to do it in such a way that he recon that immediately. What would you do?" I answered that I would replace algorithms used in the code with slower ones and other options related to coding. But he asked anything else that you could do in such a case. I failed to answer that."

I would like to know how many ways are there in which I can purposely slow a website without the developers not knowing immediately. I guess the interviewer was expecting anything related to the server.

Always program a serverside backdoor. Lol
