H Lite is a small web application (web), which does not use excessive resources on your system for a DuckDuckGo search. So according to the developers the Light application is very fast.

DuckDuckGo Lite

Users of DuckDuckGo use the search engine to protect their privacy, but also for the functionality it provides. The main DuckDuckGo website works fine on desktops and mobile devices, but in addition to the search box it displays ads, images or news
and other information.

Search results are not as "contaminated" with ads as Google results and DuckDuckGo reports that does not follow you through ads.

DuckDuckGo users looking for something lighter can try DuckDuckGo Lite. The tiny DuckDuckGo Lite homepage displays only one search field and the equally tiny results pages display only the results (and a search box).

The overall page size has been significantly reduced. The entire homepage is less than 5 Kilobytes in size while the normal homepage is up to 1 Megabyte. The search results page is just as tiny, it has a size of about 33 Kilobytes depending on the results while the normal page reaches 2 Megabytes with the search results.

The DuckDuckGo Light application executes fewer requests when you load the homepage or search results, while the regular DuckDuckgo page runs more than 50 times more requests.

Google Home Search is about 1,9 Megabytes, and results pages vary by ad and . But they usually start at 2 and reach 3 Megabytes. Google handles over 100 queries on search results pages.

Η lite by DuckDuckGo is ideal for systems with low resources or slow and unreliable Internet.
Of course, it can also be used by new systems and fast Internet, as the results appear quickly and without hundreds of ads.
