Google announced today that it’s rolling out a new feature to Android devices that will optimize Web pages so they load faster on slow 2G connections in India.
Google claims that its new feature reduces users’ data consumption by 80 percent, speeds up page loads by four times and results in 50 percent more page views.
Android users in India will be able to experience optimized page loading over the next couple of weeks.
The company began field testing this feature at the end of April in Indonesia. It transcodes pages for quicker delivery on the fly when it detects that a user in on a slow connection. It appears that the method strips out Google Analytics scripts and some CSS styling.
Google is also launching this feature in Brazil soon.
