Enable GZIP output compression on a WordPress Blog

By Fábio Zaffani Optimization • Wordpress at 20 de February de 2013

This is a great optimization code for any wordpress blog out there. Some servers might do it automatically, others don’t, in case of doubt just create the code below in the functions.php file and see your bandwidth consumption go down just like your site loading time.

 if(extension_loaded("zlib") && (ini_get("output_handler") != "ob_gzhandler"))
   add_action('wp', create_function('', '@ob_end_clean();@ini_set("zlib.output_compression", 1);'));
