BLADAM - Entry - Faster page loading with gzip compression

DISCLAIMER: This is my personal blog. The blatherings here aren't (necessarily) the views of the current company I work for, companies I've previously blessed with my presence, my loving parents, the Illuminati, or anyone other than me, me, me!

Faster page loading with gzip compression

Ack, I just realized that, in moving my files to a new server, I messed up one of my files, and my sites were no longer being sent 'compressed.' (For you geeks out there, I no longer had gzip compression enabled)

What this means is that... now my pages should load two to four times faster for most folks, especially dialup users!

Just thought I'd share

P.S. -- Oh, and for Webmasters: you can add this to your htaccess file:

php_flag zlib.output_compression On
