Facebook pages load pretty quickly, but a new application from SpaceNext aims to show them to you faster by stripping out the types of content that are most popular on the site: images and videos.

TextOnly claims to speed sharing of content via Facebook by stripping out ads, images, scripts, and videos, and, as the app’s name suggests, supplying only readable text.

SpaceNext developer Shan (yeah, that’s his name) touts the following benefits of TextOnly:

  • Readable content from websites displayed in an easy-to-read format;
  • Less data usage;
  • More sharing of links on Facebook;
  • More time saved due to less data usage;
  • People will share more links on Facebook.
