<p>This plugin implements gzip output compression to speed up load times.</p>
<p>The plugin also does a check to see if browsers are incorrectly saying that they do not support GZIP when they actually do. This can speed up load times for a significant portion of users.</p>
<pre><code>For requests with missing or mangled Accept-Encoding headers, inspect the User-Agent to identify browsers that should understand gzip.
* Test their ability to decompress gzip.
* If successful, send them gzipped content!
</code></pre>

WPCacheOn – WordPress Caching plugin

I just made a review of different cache plugins and was very curious about this one.
I compared GMetrix results with Swift Performance Light and CacheOn did not have a good score for YSlow test (less than 80%). So I’m not impressed.

But it works without problem on the test site and options (very little) are very convenient to check. 

Better than no cache plugin but I think other well known plugins will do a better job with proper configuration.
