gzip compression 1 month 1 day ago #21

eh215 Offline Junior Member Posts: 228	Sorry for the delay, I have been tied up and away from this for a little while. Compression is working OK on my site, so I do not think there is a webtrees issue. Here is a console log of my home page, as you can see all of the items are indeed compressed.

Also, if your hosting service hasn't set up caching for you, then adding browser-based caching can speed up your website considerably by eliminating the need to send various elements at all. This is what I have in .htaccess for an Apache-based host

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
    ExpiresActive On
    ExpiresDefault "access plus 12 month"
</IfModule>

Pulling an element from the browser cache is far faster than any across-the-internet transfer

@eh215:

At this moment I'd only like to note that under my domain there are a few other subdomains:
besides webtrees 2.0 there are two WordPress sites, two Mediawiki sites and one Piwigo.
All of them are successfuly gzip compressed.

This is what I said earlier in this thread. The webtrees 1.7 was gzip compressed successfuly, too.

webtrees sets a "Content-length" header on its output.

This allows browsers to show a progress bar while downloading, etc.

It appears that apache does not apply gzip compression if this header exists.
(It should remove it and replace it with a new header containing the compressed size.)

It works OK with other webservers. e.g. nginx.

I don't know if this is a bug in apache, a config option, etc.
