Bandwidth Hero - Live Image Compression Extension

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).

Dragan (ID: 000000aabc270105) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/17/2023 Doesn't seem to work anymore in Edge :( works fine in Firefox however.

Khendrick (ID: 000000e667ae8731) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/27/2023 I have been using this extension for the more than a year now, tho it cost me surfing thru Github for so long lloking to see if i will get lucky and see someone who forked the repo and probally kept on maintaining it, well,thank Goodness i found it. You only need a netlify account for the method, and just a one click deploy to netlify and you are ready to go. Go to this github link: https://github.com/himshim/bandwidth-hero-proxy2 And follow the guide on how to get one up and running for your self, we don know how long it will take netlify and follow suit like Heroku but yeah for now lets enjoy
