**Google Web Light Improves Performance and Accessibility of News Websites**
Google has introduced a new tool that improves the performance and accessibility of news websites on mobile devices. Web Light is a proxy service that compresses and optimizes web pages, making them load faster and use less data.
This is especially important for users in developing countries, where internet speeds are often slow and data plans are expensive. Web Light can make news websites more accessible to people who might not otherwise be able to afford to access them.
In addition to improving performance, Web Light also makes news websites more accessible to people with disabilities. The service includes features such as text-to-speech and high-contrast mode, which can make it easier for people with visual impairments to read the news.
Web Light is available as a standalone app for Android devices and as a built-in feature in the Google Chrome browser. It is currently supported by over 50 news websites, including The New York Times, The Guardian, and The BBC.
