Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and methods that provide improved access to content items in situations involving suboptimal network conditions. In particular, when a user attempts but fails to access a content item, a computing system can enable the user to access an alternative version of the content item that has been modified to account for the network conditions, thereby improving the accessibility and latency of content items for devices that are suffering from slow and/or unreliable network connections.
