Comments on: GZIP Compression Using Amazon S3 Cloudfront CDN http://internetmarketingbyme.com/74/gzip-compression-using-amazon-s3-cloudfront-cdn/ Passive Income From The Net Thu, 29 Apr 2010 10:00:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Dalton http://internetmarketingbyme.com/74/gzip-compression-using-amazon-s3-cloudfront-cdn/comment-page-1/#comment-29 Dalton Mon, 26 Apr 2010 20:22:18 +0000 http://internetmarketingbyme.com/?p=74#comment-29 Thanks for the tip, this seems to be working for me. It's a lot of work, but probably worth it since I have a lot of uncompressed scripts & CSS on CloudFront. Just a suggestion: it's probably better to add the line the functions.php of your theme instead of the WordPress index.php: $GLOBAL_GZSTRING=”"; if (substr_count($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], ‘gzip’)) $GLOBAL_GZSTRING=”.gz”; else $GLOBAL_GZSTRING=”" Then, add at the top of header.php, and you can use it anywhere!

Great explanation. I guess it may be obvious to many but I didn't realize it was as easy as using 7zip on the file. Thanks again. Thanks for the tip! Great explanation.
