gzip static resources to reduce page load #5

Closed matthewandrews closed 7 years ago

matthewandrews commented 8 years ago

We can cut page load significantly by compressing static resources for transfer with gzip. This is already in place on the AWS version of the WordPress site https://wp-aws.ala.org.au/ (304K front page on mobile) but not on https://www.ala.org.au/ (783K front page on mobile), which is currently running on ala-wonder in CSIRO data centre. The only significant difference between the two is that the ala-wonder version is not sending the correct headers to compress static resources.

This issue is to either fix the config on ala-wonder, or to migrate the WordPress site to AWS.

Resolved long ago with the move of WordPress production to AWS.
