gzip compression: howto

[whizkid]

Hi,

well it works for me . You could check by loadeing a page without the compression activated and then with the compression activated and see if it makes a difference.
I put my code before any output to the browser happens.

whizkid, that's all it takes? Does that mean it uses the same settings (ie. compression level) as I have set for the forum?

And how do I check whether the compression is on or off, whether it's working or not?

Finally, does the code have to be the first line of code in the file, ie. before the html code starts? Or doesn't it matter where it is?


PPN, I am aware of that, but in this case I had in mind the compression. My site is on a large server with a lot more sites so the difference in load should not be spectacular. Moreover, I am quite convinced it was a question of bandwidth this time.
