Litespeed gzip default max file size 1MB - too little for Flarum

jacko

I just found out why one of my JS files on http://faderup.com/ does not get compressed with gzip. Basically, shared hosting I use has default Litespeed gzip maximum file size set to 1MB. So anything above that size will bypass gzip compression. My forum has a 1.4MB JS file.

I was wondering if there's any way of making this file smaller, so it stays below 1MB threshold?

The problem has been solved. My hosting company Geek Storage increased the gzip limit from 1MB to 2MB. You can test it now. Please keep in mind the server is located in Europe: http://faderup.com/

Now the initial loading is super fast here. It works faster here in Europe than official Flarum site ?

It will be nice when we expand to a datacenter in Europe later down the road ?

Here's preprocessing, availability times:

381ms... Might be tested from the same location where the server is?
My test results confirm that location is a deciding factor to websites first load time. They also confirm why faderup (located in Germany) feels considerably quicker than flarum in Europe. Before Geek Storage changed the gzip settings, the size of the site was 1.6MB, now it is 0.6MB. Kudos to them for changing the value! They also allow for 2 character search, while most other hosts allows 4 characters only.

The above looks favourably to faderup.com - particularly for Europe users. It is similar to my finding which I am posting below. All tests were performed only once. The tool I used: https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/dstmgE/faderup.com

No, it's wherever perfwars is testing from. The tests your showing don't appear to be loading our cached pages.
