Installation Instructions

Installing this plugin is quick and easy:

Download the WordPress Gzip Compression plugin.
Extract the ZIP archive on your computer to get the ezgz folder.
Upload the ezgz folder to your wp-content/plugins directory.
Activate the plugin on your ‘Plugins’ page in the WordPress dashboard.

Will it speed up my WordPress website?

Yes, absolutely. The gzip handler compresses output before it is sent to the user’s browser so the user downloads less data and the browser then processes the compressed data.

What type of compression does it use?

It uses the PHP ob_gzhandler() callback to compress output.
