AtOpera, we love speed. We work hard to make our browser faster withfeatures that speeds you up, but your connection also plays a big roleon how fast you can go.
Some people have fast connections,a lot have slow connections. Many are always on the run from one placeto another — making it hard to find regular fast connection points.Even if you do, it might be that too many people are on the Wi-Fi inthe cafe or that you are browsing through your mobile phone whencommuting on the train.
That’s why we’ve been working onOpera Turbo, a server-side optimization and compression technology thatprovides significant improvements in browsing speeds overlimited-bandwidth connections by compressing network traffic. This doesnot only make you surf faster, but also lowers the cost of browsingwhen you are on a pay per usage plan.
Today we start ourtime limited test phase for Opera Turbo, please read below to learn alittle about how Turbo works and where to download it. You can also seeit in action in the following video:

Bottom left corner is where the speed is

Whenturned on, Opera Turbo will display the average compression rate. Hoveryour mouse over the Opera Turbo icon to see a tooltip with the amountof bandwidth saved as long as it has been enabled.

Throttle your bandwidth to see the big difference
OperaTurbo will work with any type of connection, but to get the most out ofit you should be on a situation with limited bandwidth. In case youcan’t attend a crowded conference today or aren’t on a bus connectedthrough your phone, you can simulate a slower connection speed with: Only Registered Users Can See Links.Click Here To Register.. and the Only Registered Users Can See Links.Click Here To Register... We recommend limiting your bandwidth to 100Kbps.
Opera Turbo doesn’t change the Web site
Turbo uses a technology called “Opera Web Optimization Proxy”, which is different from the Only Registered Users Can See Links.Click Here To Register..used in Opera Mini. Web sites layout and text will look exactly thesame, but image resolution may appear considerably lower as a result ofthe compression. Dynamic Web technologies such as Ajax(XmlHttpRequests) and Flash are supported, but some plugin content willload only after clicking on the empty element.
Your privacy is important
Evenwhen Turbo is enabled, encrypted traffic does not go through ourcompression servers. This means that when you are on a SSL site, webypass these traffic and let you communicate with the SSL sitedirectly. Opera generates statistics of the usage of Opera Turbo, butthese are aggregated numbers and no information can be linked to asingle user. Opera does not store any users’ private information.
Opera Turbo will be part of future desktop versions
Thisis a time-limited release, but the feedback we receive from this testrelease will help us determine how and when to move forward with OperaTurbo.
