Google to launch Search Lite feature for faster page load on Indian 2G networks

Google Search’s new lite mode will load pages 4 times faster on Indian 2G networks

Google Search Product Manager Hiroto Tokusei said the results in Indonesia showed a four times faster page load and 80% less data consumption.

Google has announced the launch of its Search Lite feature, that allows a much faster load of search links, in India from this month.

“The new feature will come into play whenever a mobile user is access search results from a very slow network. Google will capture the page and make it lighter,” Hiroto Tokusei, Search Product Manager, Google Inc, said in a telephonic interview.

Google has already tested the feature in Indonesia, which has networks very similar to India. Tokusei said the results there showed a four times faster page load and 80 per cent less data consumption.
