A tool to help AI agents read web pages faster and cheaper

Hacker NewsJun 8, 2026 · 2d ago

Web Speed turns a web page’s HTML into a simpler sitemap that an AI agent can read. This may lower cost because the AI does not need to process the full page code or screenshots. It supports MCP, so compatible AI tools can use it while controlling a browser.

Key points

  • The main idea is to replace long HTML with a shorter sitemap to reduce token use.
  • It can share saved sitemaps through a cache, so later visits may be faster.
  • The open source version is available on GitHub for testing.
  • Access to the shared cache is currently limited to the paid API version.
