The breadth and depth of knowledge to absorb in the web performance space is ridiculous. At a minimum, I'm discovering something new nearly every week. Case in point: The Save-Data header, which I discovered via a Google Developers article by Ilya Grigorik.
If you're looking for the tl;dr version of how Save-Data works, let me oblige you: If you opt into data savings on the Android version of Chrome (or the Data Saver extension on your desktop device), every request that Chrome sends to a server will contain a Save-Data header with a value of On. You can then act on this header to change your site's content delivery in such a way that conserves data for the user. This is a very open-ended sort of opportunity that you're being given, so let's explore a few ways that you could act on the Save-Data header to send less bytes down the wire!
