I´ve got this site build in Drupal. This is not a Drupal related question.
I´m trying to speed up the load time, so I´ve made a test using Google Page Speed script.
The thing is that the biggest issue is compressing some files.
As I´ve got several "speed up" modules in my Drupal installation, these "uncompressed" files are not Drupal but third party related.
They are, in example, my counter image and a js file from a video player:

Si se comprime http://www.mysite.org/jwplayer/jwplayer.js …

Si se comprime http://www.w3counter.com/tracker.js …

How do I compress those files? Should I just put them inside a zip in point to a zipped file? But would those files work as expected? I mean, Pointing to a zipped .js file, or zipping the counter´s tracker?

I have no idea on what to do about those errors. I haven´t found a newbie explanation yet about how to compress and point to a compressed yet working file online.

Thanks!

    The web server can compress files before serving them to the browser. If you are using a recent version of Apache, enabling the module mod_deflate may be enough. (At least I did not do anything else and Firebug shows Content-Encoding: gzip for all HTML/CSS/JS requests and Page Speed gives it thumbs up.)
