Philippine web Proxy

What has been done to speed up the proxy service?
The proxy has numerous features built in to speed up your experience. Including (but not limited to):

• gzip Compression
Even if the remote server sends back data uncompressed, PhilProxy will send the data to your browser in a compressed format (gzip). This compression method can create file size savings of 60-80% which leads to significantly faster loading times.
• Image Compression
Any image file larger than 50KB will be compressed to decrease the file size. Although this will result in a lower quality image, it will decrease loading times significantly. Since most people use proxies as a temporary measure, this is a reasonable trade off.
• Maximum File Size
PhilProxy imposes a limit to the size of remote files it will fetch. Any file larger than 500KB will not be fetched. This ensures that the PhilProxy service isn't slowed down by a few users downloading large files.
• Minify CSS
All CSS files are minified. This involves the removal of unnecessary code in CSS files such as comments, additional spacing, tab characters and so on.
• Removal of non-crucial HTML tags
Non-crucial HTML tags such as ALT strings for images are removed which results in a smaller file size and therefore quicker loading time.

Tools
