What is GZIP compression?
GZIP is a file format and software application used for file compression and decompression, most commonly used by web servers to compress HTML, CSS, and JavaScript before sending them to the user's browser.
Why is GZIP important for website speed?
GZIP can typically reduce the size of text-based files by 50% to 70%, drastically reducing download time and improving page load speed metrics.
Can this tool check image compression?
No. GZIP is optimized for text-based files (HTML, CSS, JS). Images (JPG, PNG) use their own specialized compression algorithms and should be checked using a separate tool.
