How do I enable compression for my website? I went to GIDZipTest: Web Page Compression (Deflate / Gzip) Test - GIDNetwork and did a test and it says my site is not compressed. It also says that compressin could help speed up load times. I found another site that had a code that I could place in the top of the <head> section, but it was a php code. I have asp.net. Can someone help?
Much appreciated.

    Compression is always for your javascript files, they translate the human readable code into machine readable code. The code doesn't make sense to you anymore but the files are smaller. I guess YUI offers something like that and here are some packers as well:

    Will vary depending on your hosting server. If they use Apache it's as simple as going into your cpanel and turning it on.

      I use Arvixe. They don't offer Dynamic compression in windows environment. But they do have static on all accounts, that is on be defaut. Is there a code I can place in web.config that would compress the static end?
