What is AsseticStaticGzipBundle?

AsseticStaticGzipBundle is a bundle which creates gzipped versions of your css and js files.

It works transparently with AsseticBundle so you don't need to modify your code.

Motivation

Nginx web server can compress response data on the fly. To save time it can be configured to send an already compressed copy of a file.

Nginx plugin: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_gzip_static_module.html
