Internet speed depends primarily on the provider and the connected tariff. With the increase in the need for social networks, instant messengers and the use of browsers, the speed of the consumed traffic increases. Having chosen an inexpensive tariff, the traffic will be consumed much faster. Some use a certain tariff plan, and others connect to unlimited Internet. The higher the data transfer speed, the more expensive the Internet will be. That is why the issue of traffic economy is the most urgent.
You can check the speed of the Internet using the convenient Speedcheck application speedtest, which is distinguished by the high accuracy of the obtained data; powerful servers that speed up work many times, and a detailed manual that will not confuse even the most inexperienced user. Speedcheck can be installed on any relatively modern smartphone or tablet by simply downloading it from the AppStore and Google Play.
Reasons for fast consumption of Internet traffic
Economy is important because the user can lose access to the Internet at any time. If access is limited, you have to buy an additional package. When using the Internet, almost no one thinks about how to reduce traffic consumption. The reasons for increased traffic consumption include:
1. Downloading large files: music, videos, graphic images and films.
2. View pages with large files.
3. Visiting sites with a large number of advertisements, banners and animations.
4. Availability of a large amount of software that works on the basis of traffic.
5. Virus codes on the device.
Features of saving traffic in the browser
There are only a few applications that have the function of saving traffic.
As an example:
1. Firefox does not have a mode for saving Internet traffic.
2. Opera Mini is the most economical browser. Thanks to emu, you can save about 80-90% of traffic. With data compression, you can view servers via GPRS and Edge networks. The browser has a built-in Opera Plus ad blocker. Opera Mini has a super economy mode. But this mode restricts the entire Internet.
3. Opera works much faster, but does not have a super economy mode.
4. Chrome is also equipped with an economy mode. There is no ad blocker in the browser. According to calculations, the browser saves 20-40% of traffic. To do this, you need to go to the settings and turn on traffic saving. Internet economy remains imperceptible, and the quality of viewed pages does not change.
5. Puffin helps save traffic when watching videos on YouTube and Play Store pages.
Getting rid of ads
Advertising blocking also allows you to effectively save traffic. To do this, you need to download the AdAway application. The program completely blocks all advertising servers. In addition to advertising, the software blocks services with activity tracking. Root rights are required to use the program.
Setting the limit
In order not to run out of traffic before the end of the tariff plan, you need to set a monthly traffic limit. Traffic regulation will depend on the model of the mobile device. The limit is set by the start date of the new period. It is also possible to set a notification through which the smartphone will report how much traffic has been spent. Setting the limit is especially important if the smartphone is 2-SIM. In some cases, at the end of the traffic, the mobile phone will start consuming money from the account of the second SIM card.
Smart economy of the Internet
In order to receive messages on time and not waste excess traffic, in the settings you need to select applications that can be used in the background. There is no way to block access to all applications. In this case, it is possible to restrict the access of some applications to the Internet.
Automatic app updates
This simple method will reduce traffic consumption as much as possible. Each update can consume several gigabytes. If there is no necessary check mark in the settings, the update will eat all the traffic. In the settings, you need to set the auto-update via Wi-Fi option. The settings must also be changed in the Play market.
As a result, it is still possible to save traffic. If all the instructions are followed correctly, the traffic will be sufficient for the period specified in the tariff plan.
