Hi, I need some advice about gzip. I understand correctly, so if I change the site elements to SYMBOL, they are automatically generated as gzip? I'm concerned about speeding up the site. Thanks
Gzip is a server side setting: It's a compression algorithm that your web server uses to transmit text data (html/css/js) in a compressed format to your website visitors. Most web hosts handle this automatically so it's not something you do in Hype.
You can test whether your web assets are being served with gzip by running this terminal command for your Hype document's html page or .js file:
curl -I -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate" https://example.com/page.html
-I fetches the HTTP header only.
-H "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate" tells the server that you accept compressed data
If you then see: content-encoding: gzip, then your server is compressing the .html page.
