README

This module is a post-deployment processor that compress static text files with GZip. These assets can then be served directly by a supported browser, and save process CPU time (thus latency) at each request. Compressed files are css, js, csv, txt, tsv and html.

Configuring Nginx

You'll need module ngx_http_gzip_static_module enabled in order to use this. See [http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_gzip_static_module.html] on how to enable it.

Configuring Apache 2.4

You can configure mod_deflate to use pre-compressed files instead of compressing them on the fly. See [https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_deflate.html#precompressed].

Changelog

See CHANGELOG.md

TODO

• Add configuration option to enable/disable gzip generation
• Add configuration option to set processed extensions
• Add configuration option to set compression level
• Add support for other compression method (deflate, brotli, bzip2)?
