madmax Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Found this incredibly useful site for testing to see if a) Your browser is correctly requesting compressed pages (GZIP) b) Whether your site is *actually* compressing the pages. c) It Also it shows the before/after size and the compression ratio. This works for both mod_gzip and mod_deflate (I use the latter). This saves a heck of a lot of faffing about with telnet. I wish I had seen this site sooner. http://www.whatsmyip.org/mod_gzip_test/ There is also an example of using PHP to compress content - e.g. for Apache/Win32 1.3.x where mod_deflate doesn't seem to be available. The main page also includes a lot of other useful tools for checking out your site. There is also a regex-tester which someone was asking for recently http://www.whatsmyip.org/regexptest/ Might be worth pinning somewhere?
