How to Check If Your Blog is Compressed (GZIP Enabled)

Flashlearners Updated On by

Pagespeed affects your ranking on Google, Yahoo, Bing and other Search Engines. Now, page size affects your page speed. The bigger the size of your blog pages, the slower your blog will load. Hence it is important to compress your pages using GZIP or Brotli Compression.

Compression dramatically reduces the size of your page. The Gzipped file is much smaller in size (in bytes) as your original web file. The browser of your visitor will need less time to load your website because it only needs to download much smaller files.
