The html, css, and javascript are compressed. Compressing the files would reduce propagation delay making happier users. Also the slightly reduced bandwidth requirement probably saves google a pretty dime when you consider the number of requests they have.
- hnriot 13y agoActually compressing doesn't make any difference to the propogation delay since that's the time to the first byte, which remains the same, irrespective of data size. In fact, if compression is performed on the fly, then it will likely increase propogation delay. You're probably referring to transmission time, which is a function of data size.
