Faster Android web page loading in South Africa

Google is introducing a new feature which will improve web page load times for African users.

“Now for most of Africa, when you search on Google with a low-RAM device via the Google App, Chrome, or Android browser, web pages that you access from Google’s search results page will be optimised to load faster and use less data,” said Google.

The feature is already available in Brazil and India, and analyses show that optimised pages load three-times faster and use 80% less data, said Google.

“However, if you’d prefer to see the original page, you can choose that option at the top of your page.”
