GZIP is the abbreviation of Gnuzip, he means that when accessing a Web site on a gzip-enabled host, Gzip technology will compress the content of the Web page and then transfer it to a visiting browser. This feature is currently supported by most browsers.
The most important feature of this function is to greatly increase the efficiency of the transmission, that is, the site opened fast. Usually open gzip function can effectively speed up 60%. This, of course, also increases the load on the host or server.
How do I know if my host or space supports gzip? In addition to directly ask the space provider, there is the following introduction of this self-help query:
First, create an empty text document and write this code
<?php phpinfo ();?>
After you save the file as a test.php, upload it to the space root directory.
Use the browser to open http://your domain name or directory/test.php, such as this site for http://www.cnjoel.com/test.php. When opened, the Ctrl+f key looks for the following:
_server["Http_accept_encoding"]
After you find out, see if there is a gzip on the back of this parameter, if there is a space to support gzip; if not, then you stand well moved.
Some background with the cpanel host with the turn on/off Gzip features, you can refer to my "How to use the cpanel panel to open gzip compression function?" To turn on this feature.
