Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

This plugin allows your WordPress blog to output pages compressed in gzip

format if a browser supports compression.

HTTP compression generally means a 60-80% REDUCTION in the size of your pages

(broadband usage) as well as an INCREASE in download speeds of 3x to 4x.

To test if your blog is using compression use the following link:

com/

Check “Page GZip” on the right hand size.

Check “Bandwidth saved by compression” on the left hand side.

NOTE: This plugin should not be used alongside WP Super Cache or WP Cache

since those plugins are already implementing compression. Your blog

will keep working but those plugins will stop caching new pages.
