Gzip is an incredible of packing files for quicker network transfers - helping them load faster, so improving site speed. It's also file format.
We encourage the use of and enable Gzip Compression by default in all our platforms. Compression is handled automatically by our Edge Cache systems, so no configuration is required on your part.
Note: Our temporary URL system does not use our edge caching, so any outer tests for compression against the temporary URL will demonstrate compression as disabled. This is expected and won't be the case when testing against your actual domain name.
