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.
