The operating principle of the expansion is simple: it finds all pictures on the site that you have started to download, and sends them to the address for service for data compression. There the image is converted into low-quality, but still distinguishable WebP- or JPEG-images. By the time all the resource loading heavy pictures, images, and icons are replaced by simplified.
All content is processed on the fly, so the sites are loaded with the same speed as usual. You can choose how much Bandwidth Hero must compress the image and whether to make them black and white, to reduce the size even more.
It is possible to add sites to the exception. To do this, just click on the icon to expand and click on the green button Disable on this site. It also shows how much Bandwidth Hero managed to compress images and save traffic.
The superstructure is useful to those who use the internet or VPN-service with a restriction on data downloads. For users of unlimited tariffs expansion useless.
