Opera sau Amazon au dezvoltat sisteme care prin intermediul unor proxy servere reduc dimensiunile website-urilor si livreaza pagini optimizate catre terminalele mobile care le folosesc pentru a naviga pe web. Aceste sisteme sunt extrem de utile pentru utilizatorii care au conexiuni web nu foarte rapide, iar Google ar putea intra in acelasi joc. Versiunea pentru Android a Google Chrome are implementata o functie de compresie a datelor accesate de catre browserele web, inginerii companiei testand deocamdata intreaga functionalitate.
Reduce data consumption by loading optimized web pages via Google proxy servers.
Aceasta este descrierea utilizata de catre Google pentru functia implementata in Chromium, o versiune open source beta a Google Chrome, in acea versiune a browserului fiind deseori implementate noi functii ale browserului. Google ar urma sa isi foloseasca serverele SPDY pentru a face mult mai rapida navigarea pe web folosind Google Chrome, insa deocamdata nimeni nu stie cand va ajunge acesta functionalitate in Android OS sau iOS.
Google’s implementation would be different in that it would use the company’s SPDY proxy servers. SPDY, which is not an acronym but just a short version for the word “speedy,” is a protocol developed primarily at Google to improve browsing by forcing SSL encryption for all sites and speeding up page loads. It does the latter via multiplexing (sending multiple streams of data over a single network connection), assigning high or low priorities to page resources being requested from a server, and compressing header information that accompanies communications for resource requests and responses. In other words, it’s part of Google’s broader strategy to speed up the Web.
