GoogleWeblight is an initiative by Google to improve the browsing experience of millions of users who are on slow internet speed. Typically for countries like Indonesia, India & Brazil where a majority of users are on 2G or very slow internet connection.

What Streamlined lite version of the mobile search meant for a user?

For an end user it meant, the webpage will load 4X faster and 80% of less bandwidth consumption.
The key factor here is, faster rendering of the web page, which will help millions of users around the less developed & developing countries to browse more pages, and less hassle with slow loading of the page.

Few important points:

Google analytics will not track the stats of transcoded pages, so that page can load quickly. You can see the server logs or using WordPress.com stats to see the traffic coming from GoogleWeblight.
Pages will be transcoded only for mobile device & not for desktop or tablet.
For any issue or feedback, you can mail to googleweblight@google.com
If you decide to opt out of transcode, Google will label this page in the search results as slow loading page.
Sites which requires cookies, or videos sites can;t be transcoded at this moment.
