The Code Compression settings are accessed from Performance | Settings.
Code compression is the process of using less bandwidth and increasing performance by compressing code before it is sent.
When to compress files
The default setting for file compression is Off. However, files should be compressed under the following conditions:
When the Web application’s users are accessing the Web application with various low bandwidths that can benefit from the extra performance gained by compression.
When there is a large quantity of Cached files.
When not to compress files
There are some instances where it is preferable to deactivate compression for select files. Compression can be deactivated in several ways:
Deactivate compression entirely - should be done if the server is set to handle compression to prevent compressing files twice and rendering them unusable.
Setting compression to cached files only - should be done when there is a large quantity of cached files and the rest of the files do not require compression.
Blacklist - selectively disable compression for files do not require compression such as pictures that are already compressed or small files that do not require compression.
When using PHP’s compression feature zlib.
