Today I am going to tell you how to configure Apache server to gzip the files that are requested from your server. GZIP techology was introduced in 1992 however even today many sites do not have GZIP enabled. Although it helps to open pages 4-5 times faster than usually, and is 100% supported by modern browsers, many webmasters don’t even know such a thing exists. I won’t describe how great it is to use GZIP on your server, as you can find this information in Wikipedia and/or Google. What I’m going to tell you, is how to configure your Apache 1.3.x server easily.
