Bandwidth Hero saves data by compressing all images on the page via data compression service which reduces image size by about 50%-75%.
Compression service downloads original image, converts it to WebP image and returns it to the browser.
Unlike Google’s Data Saver, Bandwidth Hero works for both secure and unsecure URLs.
It is very useful when you use limited data, such as 3G or LTE.
After installing this extension you need to setup data compression service to run on Heroku or your own Node.js server.
The extension is open-sourced, you can check the code on GitHub – https://github.com/ayastreb/bandwidth-hero/
—
By installing and using this extension with public data compression service (https://compressor.bandwidth-hero.com) you agree with our Terms and Conditions of Service (https://bandwidth-hero.com/terms).
Awesome!
Works great! Though on some sites, like Youtube it doesn’t work. It’s nice that you can set them to disable if it doesn’t.
Working for me
My stats when writing this review:
133,703 images processed, 10.4 GB (68%) data saved.
This is the by far best open source thing available just love it
Uso internet banda ancha movil con un limite de gigas por mes y ademas el internet es lento, esta extension me ayuda enormemente con ambos problemas. A veces deja de funcionar pero simplemente hay que reinstalarla y todo vuelve a funcionar
Он по-настоящему работает! Лучшее что когда-либо видел. Никакие сжатия от гугла (которые работали только на сайтах без шифрования) в подметки не годятся. Этот сжимает любые картинки, на любых (хоть зашифрованных сайтах), причем можно выбрать самому степень сжатия: web20, Web40..и даже в серые картинки, Правда от серых толку мало – степень сжатия по сравнению с Web20 повышаетс янезначительно, но вот глаз плохо воспринимате картинку без цветовой составляющей. Весь! Маст хэв однозанчно, если вы юзаете инет через модем (да. это Расея – тут нет оптики на каждом углу). Жаль, что толбко сейчас столкнудся с этим плагином((
Simply incredible for an improved Text Browser !
If you add a E-Ink diplay,…………..
working, horyshet
im glad i found this extension
just, it kinda confusing at start with the hosting and configuring
but overall it was worth it using this website, saving a lot of data and speed up opening website
I really like this extension just wanted to ask if it is possible to download to WEBP10?
no longer work… f
DIFFICULT TO DEPLOY, POOR INSTRUCTIONS! — But I eventually figured it out and have since written complete INSTRUCTIONS in a reply comment below this review. I changed ny rating from 3-stars to 4-stars. I won’t give it 5 til the developer comes and edits his own Extension Page and provides decent documentation that is something OTHER THAN a youtube video. — If you are on a slow connection, which is one of the reaons to even use this extension, you’ll never be able to read the type in the video because of low bandwidth. Even though the dev has moved onto bigger and brighter things, all he has to do is provide UPDATED SCREENSHOTS or at the very least some updated description text. It is not at all user friendly to be dumping mainstream Chrome browser users to some Github page. However, in meantime, if anyone wants instructions, please see them in a comment i wrote up below.
Good. Fix many problem cause by chrome saver.
By the ways, I host on my Digital Ocean server, you can share with me if you don’t want to host.

Server is 2G RAM, 1 CPU
The video instruction is different from the heroku website. I’m tech illiterate cant figure out the steps without instruction.
Works exactly as it should, what a great extension!
I loved this extension a lot. I modified the code a little and hosted on my google firebase account, this performs really well with high speeds and no processing or upload limits.
i would have loved if it could provide caching for the recently loaded images in the browser.
It could cache the images in browser which would improve speed a lot.
Excelente, ayuda mucho a ahorrar datos y cargar las páginas más rápido
Just wow! I have a 800MB per day limit with my internet and this just solved my problem. I get to have more use of my daily data limit than before. Kudos to you all!!!
not working for me. whenever i click the deploy and try to create app it always say “Invalid template repository: The source could not be retrieved.”
Meaningful!
Dear Developer, whats your future plan for this? [email protected]
very good
thanks
Works great. I had to install node at hero but works great
Great, however if it stops working (which it does for me) the easiest fix is to reinstall
me encanta
