Feedback: Site on mobile phone (data compression) very slow since update.

[ISUCyclones2015]

It doesn't matter if I'm using the mobile site or full page site. It just gets stuck loading for minutes even on Iowa State Wi-Fi.

I'm using an HTC One, Chrome Mobile browser, on Sprint (actually been faster on Sprint than on Wi-Fi). And there's 4g on the tower near State Ave now.

I've tested it using Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Dolphin, and the generic internet browser. All are extremely slow except the generic internet one. I'm assuming it's because of the data compression features of the other mobile browsers. Once I turned it off, it works as expected.

Though it might be a vBulletin issue since I've had this on multiple vBulletin sites.

I have the same exact issue in chrome on my moto x.

I went into Chrome settings and turned off the data compression. Works fine now. I believe that data compression was introduced with the latest chrome update.

I though it was something with my phone... thank you for posting a solution.

Ya that's the issue for sure. Just wanted to see if there was a fix for that.

I had to do this too.

Yep, knew it was data compression. Glad I wasn't the only one

I turned off data compression and I can now use mobile chrome again.
