Website compression


This post was published on Thursday 24 April 2008.

I just found a helpful article about compressing website pages automatically using .htaccess here.   This reduced my page size by at least 75%, a big (and safe) help for viewing pages fast.

My next search was for a WordPress caching plugin.   I am currently testing WordPress Super Cache, which has been updated to work with WP 2.5.   However, it has a complicated setup and clashed with the .htaccess rules I already have setup for the rest of my website.

I’ve been testing other .htaccess rules to enable GZIP or Deflate for all files, but haven’t yet found the perfect configuration.   If I do, I’ll post it here!
