Ulpian Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Hello, what is mod_gzip? It is IPB1.3.1 modification? Please describe benefits from mod_gzip instead of standard IPB1.3.1 GZIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted July 25, 2004 Administrators Share Posted July 25, 2004 mod_gzip is a server side GZIP and thats what is being used for the whole site rather than the IBP GZIP switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotRoot Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Hello,what is mod_gzip? It is IPB1.3.1 modification? Please describe benefits from mod_gzip instead of standard IPB1.3.1 GZIP. it taks all the http content and compresses it server side and then sends you the compressed data to your browser, which then your web browser uncompresses it. So its a preloader and data compression all in one. Its makes it so the content uses less bandwidth so you get it faster by taking load off the server and the fact that its less data sent to you too.

itsnotabigtruck Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 IPB GZIP enabled --> only forums benefit from GZIP. Apache mod_gzip installed --> the whole site benefits from GZIP. To install mod_gzip, you've gotta disable IPB GZIP because otherwise your content will be compressed twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted July 25, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 25, 2004 To install mod_gzip, you've gotta disable IPB GZIP because otherwise your content will be compressed twice. Yep, that's exactly what was happening. It's a waste of server power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

war Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Whooo finally. Neowin is now a lot faster here. :) Good job. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted July 26, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 26, 2004 The main reasoning is mod_gzip is faster that ob_gzhandler() (PHP's gzip method). Improved performance with the same reduced bandwidth :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
