This plugin hooks the normal WordPress workflow in order to determine if the request is processing will cause a 404 HTTP error. In that case it prevents WordPress to do any other processing and sends the user to the page defined in the plugin options.
A working and simple solution.

This plugin allows your WordPress blog to output pages compressed in gzip 
format if a browser supports compression.

(broadband usage) as well as an INCREASE in download speeds of 3x to 4x.
To test if your blog is using compression use the following link:

Check “Bandwidth saved by compression” on the left hand side.
NOTE: This plugin should not be used alongside WP Super Cache or WP Cache 
since those plugins are already implementing compression. Your blog 
will keep working but those plugins will stop caching new pages.
