TrafficCompressor is a service that works like a universal compressing proxy server. It compresses on-the-fly all data sent and received over the Internet, for example web pages, e-mail, Usenet, ICQ messages and so on. As a result your Internet traffic may be decreased by up to 40% - 60%.
TrafficCompressor can be especially valuable for the Internet users who pay for traffic, for example GPRS and EDGE Internet users. TrafficCompressor is not intended for high-speed Internet connections and for the users who download a lot of already compressed files (GIF, JPEG images, ZIP, MP3, Flash, video files and so on).
Current TrafficCompressor version does not support picture compression, therefore TrafficCompressor would be more valuable for the users who browse web pages with pictures turned off, and less valuable for the users who browse web pages with pictures turned on.
Picture compression will be added in future versions of TrafficCompressor. Also, TrafficCompressor can be helpful for the users of slow and congested Internet connections.
Of course, TrafficCompressor is not able to decrease absolutely any kind of Internet traffic, but it will help you to decrease your traffic as much as possible. The best compression ratio may be achieved on text-based, HTML-based, and XML-based pages, files, and messages.
