Thanks for your analysis. As one of the inventors of Mod_Gzip, we've been saying for years that sending less data makes a lot of sense. In fact we have a new Apache module - Mod_Mobile, it incorporates a lot of new capabilities aimed at Smartphones and in addition we've added real time BZ2 compression which can give you upwards of 30% more compression over Gzip

Can you tell me please if Gzip compression is possible in Blogspot?
And if it is how can I implement it?
Thank you!

Also, Nginx provides static gzip module http://wiki.nginx.org/Nginx... . So all the static resources ( like CSS, js ) can be compressed one time and thus save some more CPU cycles :)

Great post Paul, definitely agree that this is a must.

You mention nginx, but I wanted to add that anyone is using a reasonably modern build of apache/httpd either as their primary web content server or in a proxy-balancer configuration can also do this very very easily, and handle the historical browser issues that people mentioned:

# Deflate
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/css text/xml application/xml application/xhtml+xml text/javasc
ript application/javascript application/x-javascript
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4.0[678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html

does not use the gzip encoding!

hehe, good and right article, just funny to see that this one page have almost 0.4MB not compressed text content (html/css/js) :

1. Any browser that doesn't support GZIP encoding doesn't send the 'Accept-encoding: gzip[,deflate]' header. This flags the server to sent your text files in all their brutal honesty.

2. If anyone is running a browser that is lower than IE 6.0, they have bigger issues than worrying about compression. Every browser released since 2001 handles HTTP compression flawlessly (except for the IE 6 JS issue, which is just insane and conditional responses will deal with that).

3. Measure your performance FROM THE CLIENT SIDE with and without compression. Server-side processing time is important, but how long does it take to send the file along the wire to its destination.

You can even compress content in many shared hosting Wordpress environments by placing the '' command at the very top of the header.php file.

Good luck and happy compressing.

need to be ABSULUTELY SURE that its not going to be a problem for older browsers and mobile browsers (on the types of phones the average person has - not just new top-end "early adopter" phones)... and even newer browsers on older (slow) hardware.

Decompressing GZIP is an order of magnitude faster than compressing it. I wonder what hardware they have used for their testing?

Yes. Using gzip (mod_gzip or mod_deflate) is a no-brainer. If your users are still stuck on IE6, you'll need to omit the js files from the gzipped payload. If you're really clever, you might be able to conditionally gzip files with a .js extension for IE6 user agents.

If you're running an image heavy site, in practice you wouldn't see the same level of bandwidth savings since the images are already compressed. But compression should definitely be turned on by default for text/* content types.

minifying is compression but akin to txt speak tht u uz on ur fone.

At least around here flatrates for mobiles become commonplace. For the speed, I regularly use port forwarding to my home proxy via compressed ssh. That way the ssh tunnel takes care of any compression (including headers), and I don't need to care about safety of any wireless stuff.

Is your python server opensourced. Can you write a blog post about your server configuration.

I love how appjet.net fails the test itself.

always think the worst case scenario... and that is a really slow network... without gzip sites like gmail, friendfeed , mobileme will take too long to load ... most of those sites uncompressed are 1 to 2 MB (javascript mostly) and they will continue to get bigger as webapps become much more complex. If you are in a country where broadband is still defined as 500Mbps (there is still a lot of those), Gziping will make your website feel way faster and cut several seconds of your loading time

"Minifying" means that you cut out all the unnecessary boilerplate, like whitespace, line breaks, function names, variable names, etc. This doesn't have anything to do with compression and doesn't affect how the browser parses your file. It's merely a way of maintaining the semantic meaning of your code while decreasing the packet size being delivered.

IE6 users are accustomed to poor performance at this point, so might as well do a browser check and don't serve gzipp'ed content if that's the case.
