Google page speed tool tells me this: "Compressing resources with gzip or deflate can reduce the number of bytes sent over the network"
and of course lists all my .js and .css files.
Researching here eventually led me to this question:
How to Specify "Vary: Accept-Encoding" header in .htaccess
Which seems to say that for just .js and .css files all I would need to do is this:
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
#The following line is enough for .js and .css
AddOutputFilter DEFLATE js css
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
<FilesMatch "\.(js|css)$">
Header append Vary: Accept-Encoding
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
Can someone confirm that this is the current "best practice" for this objective and that it is failsafe, assuming the user is on a modern browser (e.g. not < IE7 for example)
Thanks!
