First off, the advice about mod_gzip and mod_deflate would seem to be the best option for standard servers.

That's what we do, using this sort of code in the make file: build: @echo @echo " GZIP SCRIPTS" @echo "--------------------------------------------------------" @echo "abling.js" cp build/script/$(APPLICATION_NAMESPACE).js build/script/$(APPLICATION_NAMESPACE).copy gzip --verbose --best --force build/script/$(APPLICATION_NAMESPACE).js mv build/script/$(APPLICATION_NAMESPACE).copy build/script/$(APPLICATION_NAMESPACE).js gzip by itself compresses the file and deletes the original. As we want to be able to serve the original file to older browsers, we copy it first, compress, and then rename the copy to preserve the original file. We make sure that gzip is installed in cygwin. We also compress the api files. Compression of the Ajax data is also supported. At some point we will implement dynamic compression if the data is above a certain size. > Other than that, what do you think could be deliver to assist > the users in this area? Just some suitable advice, and use it yourselves to highlight the advantages.
