Description from extension meta

Saves data by compressing images on the page.

Image from store Bandwidth Hero - Live Image Compression
Description from store 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).

  • (2023-12-17) Dragan: Doesn't seem to work anymore in Edge :( works fine in Firefox however.
  • (2023-10-27) Khendrick: 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
  • (2023-10-17) Shakib Raihan: I noticed some 12 years olds whining about how it's no longer free. Is the developer obligated to provide ya'll with a service that costs money to run? Anyway, to those who need the service but don't have the technical knowledge to self host it. Send an email to https://dub.sh/server and I'll try to help you setup a server that would work flawlessly. For free of course.

  • (2023-03-28) Dinuka Jayakody: need heroku premium to run . i saw migrating to glitch is an option but i dont know how to do that
  • (2023-02-03) Eric: No longer free need heroku premium to run.
  • (2022-12-04) Val Maximov: Не подключается к серверу ошибка
  • (2022-11-23) musyafa arfani: amazing useful extension ever, i used it on limited bandwith and open manga web with ease. good job.
  • (2022-08-03) Aome Art: Does it still work using free heroku? It says that how much mb I save but I check images before and after I turn it on but no changes on sizes or that's not how it works? I also notice that it turns all the images into grayscale how do I fix that?. Thank you.
  • (2022-07-21) josh wanner: Instructions on video unclear - please update. We're just guessing at this point.
  • (2022-06-24) Yudha XN: freaking awesome, it save me a lot of bandwidth. not for an average user tho, because you need to do some technical thing such as deploying your own web service for this extension. but it is worth the time.
  • (2022-06-22) conrad aaron: Dude your extention is wonderful! Could you please make an update for more compression (WEBP 5)? I think WEBP 20 is not extreme quality. You should add WEBP 5. Edit: (22.06.2022) Bro, the extention does not work any more, can you please update it?
  • (2022-04-03) Anshuman Panda: I got it working in Kiwi Browser for Android (thanks to the instructions posted here by other users) ) but strangely it just doesn't work in Chrome. Any idea what could be the issue? Do I need to use a different Heroku account?
  • (2021-12-30) Franco Cabeza: it does not work
  • (2021-11-15) Bree Vwhyman: This extension works well for me by following the instructions and creating a HEKO machine instance for free. The extension does NOT seem to like it's "disable on this site" option when you try to stop it working on a particular web tab.........it seems to cause the whole extension to start screwing up.... but other than that, it saves a lot of needless data going through your DSL line which is a great thing......i think it's saved me about 6 gigabytes already....... i was on a 30 gig per month data limit but got a free upgrade to UNLIMITED ......but i still use this extension anyhow incase the 30 gig per month limit returns on my DSL line
  • (2021-09-13) Seasons: Still works, and works like an absolute charm. Turned a 2.5MB image (2 minutes to load) into a 40KB image (loaded in 0.9 seconds). For someone with horribly slow internet, this is actually a godsend. Heroku setup was done in about 3 minutes, the 8 hour "sleep period" Heroku requires is.. well, humans go to sleep for 8 hours a day too right? Just let it sleep then. My favorite manga reader app, TachiyomiSY, even has support for Bandwidth Hero. Easily turns me waiting 10 minutes just to load a single chapter into NOTHING. This still works. If you have less than 30MB/s internet speed, absolutely use this!
  • (2021-09-11) Euhab M: Chrome extension is working very well. But FireFox addon is not working at all. Please update it.
  • (2021-08-24) fadli mukhtarif: Awesome, seems like i use opera browser but actually its' chrome/edge. What a wonderful Add ons!!
  • (2021-07-31) LΞΞ5K: Works well with Heroku even though I don't really know what I'm doing. I just followed the instructions, copy and paste, and voila! Data compression so I don't use up all the GB on my stupid Straighttalk hotspot!
  • (2021-07-24) kawai work u: doesnt work at all
  • (2021-06-11) David K.: works and saved a ton of mobile data
  • (2021-02-07) S Kong: Awesome! Works great! Though on some sites, like Youtube it doesn't work. It's nice that you can set them to disable if it doesn't.
  • (2020-09-20) Phys-Fax: Working for me
  • (2020-07-19) Pramudya Yudanto: My stats when writing this review: 133,703 images processed, 10.4 GB (68%) data saved.
  • (2020-04-13) Vineet Kumar Gupta: This is the by far best open source thing available just love it
  • (2020-03-19) Esteban Calfui: Uso internet banda ancha movil con un limite de gigas por mes y ademas el internet es lento, esta extension me ayuda enormemente con ambos problemas. A veces deja de funcionar pero simplemente hay que reinstalarla y todo vuelve a funcionar
  • (2020-03-15) X Xx: Он по-настоящему работает! Лучшее что когда-либо видел. Никакие сжатия от гугла (которые работали только на сайтах без шифрования) в подметки не годятся. Этот сжимает любые картинки, на любых (хоть зашифрованных сайтах), причем можно выбрать самому степень сжатия: web20, Web40..и даже в серые картинки, Правда от серых толку мало - степень сжатия по сравнению с Web20 повышаетс янезначительно, но вот глаз плохо воспринимате картинку без цветовой составляющей. Весь! Маст хэв однозанчно, если вы юзаете инет через модем (да. это Расея - тут нет оптики на каждом углу). Жаль, что толбко сейчас столкнудся с этим плагином((
  • (2020-03-12) প্রীতম হাজরা: Nice app. it save lots of data
  • (2020-01-23) ashok ricord: Simply incredible for an improved Text Browser ! If you add a E-Ink diplay,..............
  • (2020-01-22) Muhammad Hanif 404: working, horyshet im glad i found this extension just, it kinda confusing at start with the hosting and configuring but overall it was worth it using this website, saving a lot of data and speed up opening website
  • (2020-01-09) Jean J. Pirela: I really like this extension just wanted to ask if it is possible to download to WEBP10?
  • (2019-10-01) khaled hosny: no longer work... f
  • (2019-09-11) JcfeJohn: If you are having trouble deploying your own server for BHP, feel free to use mine Europe: https://eu1.halpie.xyz US: https://us1.halpie.xyz https://us2.halpie.xyz https://us3.halpie.xyz I can deploy more servers if the usage is high.
  • (2019-08-16) Richard Hoefer: DIFFICULT TO DEPLOY, POOR INSTRUCTIONS! — But I eventually figured it out and have since written complete INSTRUCTIONS in a reply comment below this review. I changed ny rating from 3-stars to 4-stars. I won't give it 5 til the developer comes and edits his own Extension Page and provides decent documentation that is something OTHER THAN a youtube video. — If you are on a slow connection, which is one of the reaons to even use this extension, you'll never be able to read the type in the video because of low bandwidth. Even though the dev has moved onto bigger and brighter things, all he has to do is provide UPDATED SCREENSHOTS or at the very least some updated description text. It is not at all user friendly to be dumping mainstream Chrome browser users to some Github page. However, in meantime, if anyone wants instructions, please see them in a comment i wrote up below.
  • (2019-07-25) Thien Thai: Good. Fix many problem cause by chrome saver. By the ways, I host on my Digital Ocean server, you can share with me if you don't want to host. https://bandwidth-hero-tt.thienapp.club/ Server is 2G RAM, 1 CPU
  • (2019-07-15) Luong Ho: The video instruction is different from the heroku website. I'm tech illiterate cant figure out the steps without instruction.
  • (2019-07-04) Kim: Works exactly as it should, what a great extension!
  • (2019-06-18) Tanuj Mehta: I loved this extension a lot. I modified the code a little and hosted on my google firebase account, this performs really well with high speeds and no processing or upload limits. i would have loved if it could provide caching for the recently loaded images in the browser. It could cache the images in browser which would improve speed a lot.
  • (2019-06-11) Angel Bran: Excelente, ayuda mucho a ahorrar datos y cargar las páginas más rápido
  • (2019-06-05) Michael Vincent Uy: Just wow! I have a 800MB per day limit with my internet and this just solved my problem. I get to have more use of my daily data limit than before. Kudos to you all!!!

  • (2018-03-02) Mahmudul Hasan: You are our Robinhood!
  • (2018-02-15) Seg Twit: I was able to run a herokuapp for my own image proxy. This service is pretty awesome and I think herokuapp for letting me set this up for free. Amazing there is something like this... My browsing is so much faster now!
