I know I have gzip running on my server and site. Most everything is taken care of but when I run firebug or google pagespeed, I am told that certain CSS files (hosted by me) are not being gzipped and could be greatly compressed.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
I was asked about my server: MediaTemple DV 3.5 running CentOS 5 with PHP 5.3.2 and Apache 2.2.15
FireBug is great for this purpose. Simply navigate to your site and in the
Nettab inspect the Response headers for all requests. For example here’s a properly gzipped CSS (on StackOverflow of course):You could also install the YSlow plugin and it will tell you exactly which static resources could be compressed in order to reduce bandwidth.
