Step 1
The easiest way is to turn on traffic saving mode in your browser. Mobile Google Chrome and Opera can do this. In this case, all requests and pages will be compressed in transit, similar to what happens when archiving.
You can even analyze how many bytes you saved. The biggest gains will be achieved on large text pages. The situation with pictures is worse, since the image formats used on Internet pages already involve compression. Those. all the pictures are already compressed.
Step 2
Some browsers go even further. They offer the user a "quick" mode. In this mode, heavy drawings are loaded last. Those. from the beginning comes the text part of the page, which usually contains the main value for us. In principle, after receiving the text, you can click on the "cross" near the address bar to stop further downloading and save traffic even more than when you enable compression. The figure shows the "fast" mode of the UC mobile browser.
Step 3
The best way to save mobile traffic when reading news is to use dedicated apps. They load RSS feeds with or without optimized preview images. But if you liked the news, then you can download it in full and read it. For example, the Feedly program works in a similar way. You can get a complete list of such programs by typing "RSS" in the app store of your smartphone.
