Image blocking
Save bandwidth and boost device performance by blocking profile images while swiping. Perfect for users with limited data plans or those managing multiple accounts.
How it works
Simple toggle for instant bandwidth and performance savings
Turn it on
In the Auto Swiper extension, open Settings → Swiping and turn on "Image blocking". The feature activates immediately.
Swipe normally
Continue swiping as usual. Profile images won't load, saving bandwidth and reducing memory usage instantly.
Switch back any time
Want to see photos again? Turn "Image blocking" off in the same place and enjoy faster, more responsive browsing whenever you need it.
Key benefits
Maximize efficiency and minimize resource consumption
Massive bandwidth savings
Save up to 8.64 GB per year with a single account. Managing multiple accounts? The savings multiply dramatically - up to 864 GB annually with 100 accounts.
Faster performance
Reduce memory usage by up to 60% and CPU usage by 45%. Experience smoother, more responsive browsing especially on older devices or when running multiple accounts.
Cost savings
Perfect for users with limited or metered data plans. Significantly reduce your data consumption and avoid overage charges while maintaining full automation functionality.
💡 Proxy users: Save significantly on proxy costs! Most proxy services charge per traffic amount or have limited bandwidth. By blocking images, you can reduce your proxy traffic by up to 80%, leading to substantial cost savings on your proxy subscription.
Nothing else changes
Only the dating site's photo servers are blocked. Profile text, buttons and every one of your filters load exactly as normal, and AI messages only ever read text, so they are unaffected too.
