mattice Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Gzip compression is a technique that gzips (compresses) the content (=page) on the server (=machine hosting your site) before giving it to the browser (=client). The client gunzips it and shows it to you. The time it takes to gzip / gunzip the page is fractions of seconds, resulting in a speed improvement loading your site as the time it takes to travel from server to client gets shortened. (Because the content is compressed) If you should use it depends on if it actually increases performance like described above. That is 'machine dependable', you should test it. The higher the compression the longer it takes to gzip / unzip.
