Google launched its Web light client a few months ago in developing countries to let people with slow internet connections browse the internet with fluidity, you can read more about it here How to load a Website faster with slow Internet Connection Using Google Weblight. Being an amazing client for internet users in return it has lead to decrease in Ad income of many fellow bloggers, many using Ad networks which aren't supported are also troubled with it. So this article is about the ways to deal with these consequences.

How does It Works-

Google Web light automatically triggers when google detects a slow speed generally 2G internet connection on a mobile device taking that the user is using Android 2.3 and up device and a Google Chrome Browser. It then trans codes your page to a lighter version which changes the aesthetic of your page and your page loads much faster in comparison to normal. It is also being called the Stream Light version of mobile search, it may sound of great profit to normal internet consumers but for Web developers it may have a negative effect as several have there advertisement sources cleared out from the lite version.

How To Opt Out Of Web Light-

You can opt out of Web light by setting the HTTP header “Cache-Control: no-transform” in your page response which prevents google from transcoding you web page thus it results in loading the normal version of the site then the transcoded one.

Why Not (Cons) Opt Out Of Web Light-

Opting out of web light isn't a good idea according to me and i have got a few reasons you may agree to-

1)It would result in a warning sign showing that the site is slow to load which might result in decreasing your viewership.

2)Google Adsense isn't disabled in the light version however the aesthetics and location of the ads would change which might result in decreased income but keeping that in mind the user has a slow internet connection you aren't going through that much of a loss.

3)More adnetworks would be soon added to Weblight as they can fill this form to white list there add network

4)You may think its the silliest reason but according to me as a blogger your main aim is to provide people with the information they need not earning bucks.
