What is GZIP Checker?
GZIP and Brotli are HTTP compression algorithms that reduce the size of text files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) before sending them to browsers. Enabling compression typically reduces file sizes by 70—80%, significantly speeding up page loads. Our GZIP checker reads the Content-Encoding response header to verify whether compression is active on any URL.
