Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesnt GZIP take a load off the server? :huh: Sorry to be picky, but why is it disabled? :huh:

mod_gzip is a server side GZIP and thats what is being used for the whole site rather than the IBP GZIP switch

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.

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.

Yep, that's exactly what was happening. It's a waste of server power.

The main reasoning is mod_gzip is faster that ob_gzhandler() (PHP's gzip method). Improved performance with the same reduced bandwidth :)
