Optimizing website from Cpanel

Hi, I was looking through my cpanel and found this option and was wondering if I should be turning it on or not. Below is the settings I am talking about.

Hello Scott,

Did you ever enable the "Compress Content"? Was the performance better is you did? What setting did you set it to?

You might want to give that a read.

This is a basic gzipper. It has multiple choices because everyone requires different configurations, and certain settings will screw up peoples site display.

Experiment some. Find a site that does site load time tests and run them on each setting to see if it improves your load time. Often it worsens it or screws display some.

I use it and it helps slightly. But remember that this setting should be done after all your major site construction. If you change a core file or something, the change may not show due to the gzip being enabled.
