compression in use via gzip?

[greenfin]

Hello All,

After running a couple of my sites through the speed analyzer at websiteoptimization.com, I got a message that bandwidth could be saved by compressing files, like so:

# This site is not using HTTP compression, otherwise called content encoding using gzip. Consider compressing your textual content (XHTML, JavaScript, etc.) with mod_gzip or similar products.

Would you clarify whether server taj is running mod_gzip?

Is this a package that has to be enabled for each domain?

Images are already compressed to the smallest size while still retaining quality, but I need a little direction with compressing js, css and the rest of the content.

Thanks for your input!

Hello Greenfin :

mod_gzip is not installed on any Neutral Web servers. The reason it is not enabled on the servers is because it can add significant load to apache and our server as a whole.
