Surfing the web on a poor network is very bothersome. When you open a page and it has lots of images then all the internet bandwidth will be used for loading the images. If the images are heavy then more time will be consumed for loading. Images make the page attractive but they are not always useful. While browsing news or other data, you don’t require the images. If you want to browse the web with some good speed then you should disable the images. After disabling them, the pages will load faster. You can also save bandwidth and work with good speed.
