Though httparchive stats are "number of compressed responses over the number of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript requests" which is different that a per website coverage. Correct? I assumed the mod_gzip sits looks at the: 'Content-Encoding:gzip ' header. Or what else could it look at? Wouldn't this mean that low end site not in the top 300K on Alexa have a much higher non-gzipped rate?
