htaccess gzip for Faster Loading and Bandwidth Saving
March 19, 2008 |
If you can use htaccess on your server and want to use gzip for faster Page Load Times / Bandwidth Saver. You can put the following lines in the htaccess file on your server:
<IfModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on Yes
mod_gzip_dechunk Yes
mod_gzip_item_include file \.(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl|jpg|png|gif)$
mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.*
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.*
</IfModule>
This basically checks to see if mod_czip.c is found and if it is it will compress the files for you so they are faster to send to the browser. This supposedly speeds it up 35-40%. Then file sized supposedly go down 55-65%.
