Compressing all HTML pages with Apache2 on AWS
By: System Admin 01/29/2013
The Apache2 web server has two mods which can be used to compress data sent to the client (ie browser); mod_deflate and mod_gzip. The gzip mod is more versatile but more challenging to setup. For simple compression of HTML, CSS and JavaScript files, the deflate mod works just file. Compression is particularly important on Amazon Web Services (AWS) because:
HTML is very redundant and bulky Smaller files are sent to the client faster AWS charges you based upon OUTPUT bandwidth; smaller files = less bandwidth usage per file
Simple activation of mod_deflate
