Opera turbo: how to enable. Basic moments

Today, Internet technologies are developing very rapidly. But, despite this, still very many users can still be found who still have the problem of a slow Internet connection. As a result, pages load very slowly. The developers of the popular Opera browser offered a solution to this problem. In the article, we will consider a technology that will increase the speed of loading Internet pages. This technology is called Opera Turbo. How to include it, we'll look at this article.

History of development

The technology was first introduced in February 2009 at the exhibition, and already in May it could be used by anyone who used the Opera browser. Beginning with the eleventh version, new technologies allow for more qualitative compression of images with the jpg extension. At the same time, their quality has become much higher. It is interesting to note that in 2012 this technology was used in Yandex.Browser.

Turbo Opera mode. Basic moments

Despite the fact that providers offer their users a high speed Internet, in reality, sometimes everything is not so rosy. In some cases, certain problems can occur on the line, which leads to a sharp drop in speed. Also, you do not always have to use the Internet at home. Outside the house you can use only Wi-Fi. It is shared between many users or works with slow mobile internet. As a result, the download speed is rather weak.

Here, Opera Turbo technology comes to the rescue. How to enable Opera Turbo and the main princes of the work will be discussed in more detail. Its essence is to compress the data. For the first time it was implemented in Opera 10. With its use, downloaded pages are sent to your personal computer not directly, but through the server Opera Software. As a result, the data is compressed to eighty percent. This facilitates fast loading. In addition, traffic is also significantly saved, and this is very important if you have unlimited or mobile Internet. This service is completely free.

Advantages of this technology

Site mapping occurs without distortion of html-markup. But it should be noted that not all elements are subject to compression. Animation, video clips, flash, AJAX and JavaScript are not subject to compression. To ensure security, encryption protocols are not compressed. As a result, with a secure connection (in the performance of banking transactions or the acquisition of goods in all kinds of online stores), the interaction occurs directly. As a result, confidential information does not pass through the Opera server.

You can also use this technology as a replacement for a proxy server. In this case, the Opera server acts as a proxy server. In addition to data compression, you can also get anonymous access to all sorts of Internet resources.

This mode has one more advantage. Using it, you can bypass the ban on some countries to access certain Internet projects by ip-address. The Turbo Opera mode in the browser is included in its settings. Let's consider in more detail how this mode can be used and how it can be turned on.

Turbo mode in Opera 19

To enter the settings, right click on the Opera icon. We find the item "Settings" there, then go to the general settings. A window opens where we need to find a tab called "web pages". There you must select the mode in the drop-down list: automatic, disabled and enabled.

Let us consider them in more detail.

1. Auto mode. If it is activated, then at the moment of reducing the connection speed it is activated. If the speed is high, this mode must be turned off.
2. Enabled mode. There is an optimization of Internet pages with a slow Internet connection.
3. The mode is disabled. All pages are loaded in the usual way.

If you do not know which of the suggested modes to choose, you must select the automatic mode.

To know if this service is working, you need to activate the "notify me about connection speed" option.

This mode has one drawback. When compression occurs, the quality of the images on the Internet page is very poor. In this case, if the image needs to be viewed in a normal quality, you must follow these steps. Click on it with the right mouse button and select the item "Download in original quality" in the opened menu.

A faster method of switching on

How to use Opera turbo mode more efficiently? How can I turn it on more quickly? To do this, you need to find the icon at the bottom of the browser on the left that resembles the car's speedometer. Click on it and turn on the mode "set turbo mode". In the opening window, you can configure automatic activation. You can also select the notification rate notification option.

Conclusion

So, we looked at Opera turbo mode, how to enable it, what settings are available, and how to use them. It should be noted again that this mode will suit first of all those who have a slow Internet connection. If you use a different browser, you do not have to refuse it, you can simply use Opera as an additional browser.
