Chrome
is about to load web pages a lot faster than you’ve experienced up
until now. Thanks to a new compression algorithm called Brotli, which
Google introduced
last September, Chrome will be able to compress data up to 26 percent
more than its existing compression engine, Zopfli, which is an
impressive jump.
According
to Google’s web performance engineer Ilya Grigorik, Brotli is ready to
roll out, so Chrome users should expect to see a bump in load times once
the next version of Chrome is released. Google also says Brotli will
help mobile Chrome users experience “lower data transfer fees and
reduced battery use.” The company is hailing Brotli as “a new data
format” that Google hopes will be adopted by other web browsers in the
near future. But for now, expect to notice your web pages loading a bit
faster in the coming weeks.
