Do you have a cite for this? The best things I can find (with a whopping total of two minutes on Google, admittedly) are things like http://www.port80software.com/surveys/top1000compression/ which, while two years old, says that only about 1/4 of Web sites are using server-side gzip compression. Then again, those numbers do come from a company that sells a compression ISAPI for Microsoft IIS Web servers, so it's probably in their best interest to tweak the numbers downward a bit. I'm hoping for a more reliable source. (Netcraft, for instance, doesn't seem to have anything, which surprises me.) (That also doesn't account for the fact that gzip is a really old compression scheme, and if you're using a client-side application like Propel, you'll likely get better compression than gzip.) Even if the software was free, who would support the people who are terrified to install anything at all? If you were deploying something like this, presumably your field techs would be installing and testing the software on customers' PCs when you do whatever else you do to install new customers. If you already have a large customer base, though, you'd probably have to accept that some large number of your customers never would install the software, and that you wouldn't get all the benefits from it.

Jpegs and pngs are another area that they compress. You can re-compress these images quite a bit. They look uglier, but it saves quite a bit of the size. Is it worth it? I'm not too excited.

I'm running for the hills!!! ziproxy specifically is exactly that - they even say you have to use it as your proxy, either by configuring your users' PCs accordingly, or with some firewall trickery. Not sure about Propel, but I'd guess it's the type that requires client software be installed on users' computers (especially since they mention things like RADIUS support on their Web site). This isn't necessarily bad, and having something installed client-side probably lets you get better data compression. You're not limited to things like JavaScript optimization and recompressing JPEGs; you can go full-blown bundle files together using better algorithms. If your network is really stretched, and your budget is similar, I could see some benefits here. ziproxy probably would let you save a bit on your upstream bandwidth, since it appears to have a Squid-like Web caching component. (Several years ago, my employer did basically the same thing, having a second Internet connection brought in temporarily, and we used Mikrotik's Web cache package and some firewalling to save some bandwidth on the real upstreams. Aside from a few weird problems with certain customers whose in-house stuff really didn't like being proxied and cached, it worked well enough.) David Smith MVN.net WISPA Wants You!
