Data Compression Proxy

Faster, safer, and cheaper mobile web browsing with data compression

The latest Chrome browsers for Android and iOS can reduce cellular data usage and speed up mobile web browsing by using proxy servers hosted at Google to optimize website content. In our internal testing, this feature has been shown to reduce data usage by 50% and speed up page load times on cellular networks! To enable it, visit "Settings > Bandwidth Management > Reduce data usage" and toggle the option – easy as that.
Note: The data compression feature is currently available to a subset of Android and iOS users - if you don't see the option, stay tuned, as we are rolling out the feature over the coming months. If you can't wait, you can install Chrome Beta for Android and enable the data compression feature right away.

Features and implementation

The core optimizations, which allow us to reduce overall data usage and speed up the page load times, are performed by Google servers. When the Data Compression Proxy feature is enabled, Chrome Mobile opens a dedicated SPDY connection between your phone and one of the optimization servers running in Google’s datacenters and relays all HTTP requests over this connection.
