Speed up load times by automatically compressing CSS, HTML and JavaScript files in Apache. Compressed files are smaller and faster to send, for Apache 2.x, use mod_gzip or the built-in mod_deflate module.

The mod_gzip and mod_deflate modules both add file compression features to Apache. When enabled and configured, text-based files and script output is automatically compressed before it is sent to the visitor’s browser. While the effort to compress a file slows down the web server, this slow down is easily offset by the time saved to send the much smaller compressed file. This is particularly true when the server or the site visitor have a slow network connection.
