using gzip compressing

[Nico Knoll]

Hey,

is it possible to activate gzip compression somehow?

Greets,

Nico

Not really a PW thing. You generally enable this via your server config. Have a look at the html5 boilerplate server configs https://github.com/h5bp/server-configs

[horst]

also worth a look: http://processwire.com/talk/topic/3812-htaccess/?p=37295

[pwired]

you can zip and unzip in your cpanel or do it your self with pclzip.lib.php and your own php script.

I don't think that's what Nico is talking about pwired. I think it's about getting your webserver to send compressed html/css/js over the line via mod deflate or alternatives.

[pwired]

Yes I guess you are right about that. We'll I can't delete my post, forum doesn't allow that,

but I can stripe it

[Nico Knoll]

Well Horst link is quite good I guess

[SiNNuT]

Definitely, but also check out the h5bp .htaccess There are some of the same rules but also some other nice stuff.
