Just FYI, every web browser on the planet supports receiving GZip-
compressed
contents (pages, images, etc) and pretty much every web server
infrastructure
out there simply supports enabling this functionality on the server.
I have always been sceptical of external companies offering this
"service" which
is a standard feature of the HTTP protocol, albeit one not used or
understood by
many server administrators. If a particular site is slow, just bug
them to enable
HTTP compression.
