Hi, Do we need to enable gzip functionality in WordPress 3.0? I have found a plugin for enabling gzip which helps in doing this. Any success with this? Is there any disadvantage in doing this? Also, i would like to know whether this plugin is compatible with W3TC
Gzip compression is useful. Of that there is no doubt. Our hosting company, http://www.vidahost.com, has it automatically running on their servers - so no need for another plugin. Why not check with your hosting to see if yours has it switched on?
