Enable gzip Compression in WordPress 2.5

April 4th, 2008

I only noticed today that the gzip compression option was removed from WordPress 2.5. Apparently this was done as it’s easy to acheive the same thing using mod_deflate on Apache.

The problem is that my host uses Apache 1.3 and also doesn’t have mod_gzip installed so I had no choice but to do this in PHP.

Fortunately I came across this plugin that re-enables gzipping of pages saving me bandwidth and my visitors downloading time.
