Contrary to what the media might tell you, there are still parts of the USA where Internet connections are slow. And people working in aid, relief and development must often try to pull critical information off the 'Net using an unpredictable, slow connection. And, ofcourse, there are still lots and lots of people using older computers and, therefore, older browsers. When you are in any of these situations and need content from a web site, rather than the flashy images, what do you do?
loband is a web site that you can use for free to simplify web sites you want to view, in order to make them download faster over slow Internet connections, or make them accessible for users of older web browsers. To use the service, type the URL (web address) of the page you want to visit into the grey bar at the top of the page, and click the "Go" button.
Try your own web site in loband -- how content-rich is your web site? You will find out quickly with loband.
