" After the user enters a URL, our application will text our Twilio number so that it forwards the URL as a POST request to our auxiliary Node.JS department. This backend will take the path (url), get the HTML source code of the site, minimize it, remove ccs, Javascript and images, compress it into GZIP format, encrypt it in Base64, and send data to users In the form of SMS messages, the user's phone will receive a message at 3 messages per second, sort them, extract them and display the content, "Cosmos said.
