mod_gzip
The HTTP defines methods to transmit files in encoded formats from
servers to clients (if this supports it). These encodings focus on compression
(the only one used nowadays is GNU's gzip) to speed up transmissions over the
internet.
This module handles transparent compression (activated when a browser states
it supports it) without requiring you to change anything to your files.
Note that this procedure gives a little overhead on the server side as well
as for the client, but especially decompression is amazingly fast and the
up to 5 times faster download of html files via today still used modems
should encourage you to activate this module.
