According to an American study, to speed up the opening of a page on the Internet it would be sufficient to increase the size of an image
Pop-ups, advertisements, videos that start automatically, are some of the elements that delay the opening of a web page. Regardless of the connection speed. What to do?
A group of American scientists may have found a way to solve the problem.
According to the researchers of the McCormick School of Engineering, to speed up the loading of a web page it would be enough to increase the size of the text and especially of the images. A simple trick that would seem to work. The reason, according to the studies of the team of experts, would be due to the fact that a larger photo would push down, and especially out of the area of the web page, all the other smaller images. In this way, according to the group of scientists, the data to load for a site would be less and consequently the opening of a page on the internet would be faster.
ScaleUp, the app that speeds up the opening of web pages
So it would be enough to increase the size of an image to speed up a web page? Not really. Or at least you couldn't do it manually. The researchers, in fact, starting from this "discovery", have developed an extension for the Google Chrome browser. Particularly useful, say the researchers, to make the loading of a web page faster. ScaleUp, this is the name of the add-in, adapts the layout of the pages according to the speed of the Internet connection.
ScaleUp, acts not only on the size of the images, but also on the texts. According to the researchers, some fonts, especially the most "sought-after" ones, delay the opening of a web page. The extension automatically replaces them with simpler and less heavy fonts for the browser to load. Will it really work? All that remains is to try it out.
