<p>This plugin allows your WordPress blog to output pages compressed in gzip<br />
format if a browser supports compression.</p>
<p>HTTP compression generally means a 60-80% REDUCTION in the size of your pages<br />
(broadband usage) as well as an INCREASE in download speeds of 3x to 4x.</p>
<p>To test if your blog is using compression use the following link:</p>
<p>http://ismyblogworking.com/</p>
<p>Check “Page GZip” on the right hand size.<br />
Check “Bandwidth saved by compression” on the left hand side.</p>
<p>NOTE: This plugin should not be used alongside WP Super Cache or WP Cache<br />
since those plugins are already implementing compression. Your blog<br />
will keep working but those plugins will stop caching new pages.</p>

the PLUGIN. Google Analytics scripts and stat collection have been tested<br />
