Google To Make Browsing 4X Faster In India Over 2G Networks
Google has announced that they're rolling out a new feature that will make browsing 4x faster in India over slower 2G networks. The service is likely to be made available in India, Indonesia and Brazil in coming weeks. Google wants everyone to have access to high speed browsing. While Google's investing in innovative ways (Read: Google Balloons (Project Loon) Is Coming To India) to deliver super fast Internet all over the world, it's taking an innovative step to make the web pages load faster on your devices.
Google began testing this new feature in April in Indonesia. The experiments showed that Google Chrome was able to deliver web pages about 4 times faster and consumed over 80% lesser bytes. The overall result was that the traffic to these faster loading pages got increased by about 50%.
Google says that the faster loading pages will allow publishers reach out to larger set of audiences. Every optimised page will always have a link to the original page and publishers will be able to view how their pages will look like when delivered in optimised form. Publishers can opt out of page optimisation through their webmasters account if they choose to.
Google strips out Google Analytics script and unwanted CSS styling from the web pages, saving the resources. It also strips out images from the web pages and only delivers the text version of the web page to the user's mobile. Of course, if images are central to any web page, this service would affect the end-user experience.
Check out this demonstration of the feature that shows optimized pages being loaded on slower network. Do let us know if you like the feature. Publishers may head over to official #-Link-Snipped-# for further information.
