A directory of gzipped files is often incredibly useful, I've managed to reduce both latency and time it takes to load pages by just precompressing resources. It's more than incredibly useful on low-powered hardware like Raspberry Pis, some applications can be made to load in 3 seconds instead of 10.
- mnutt 8y agoThat’s somewhat surprising that it makes that much of a difference, a Raspberry Pi 2 can gzip compress at around 20MB/s. Maybe there’s some inefficiencies in the webserver implementation, or just really big files?
- Avamander 8y agoIf you only compress, then maybe, but if you have more than just nginx running on the Pi it really helps.
