Quick performance boost

December 15, 2016

If you have access to your Apache / NGINX config files, then these directives will significantly boost your site speed. Pretty standard GZip and Browser Expiry but it’s easier than using htaccess I think


# Enable Gzip compression
gzip on;

# Compression level (1-9)
gzip_comp_level 5;

# Don't compress anything under 256 bytes
gzip_min_length 256;

# Compress output of these MIME-types
gzip_types
application/atom+xml
application/javascript
application/json
application/rss+xml
application/vnd.ms-fontobject
application/x-font-ttf
application/x-javascript
application/x-web-app-manifest+json
application/xhtml+xml
application/xml
font/opentype
image/svg+xml
image/x-icon
text/css
text/plain
text/javascript
text/x-component;

# Disable gzip for bad browsers
gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";

I like it.  I like it a lot !!!

 You have interpreted what I wanted to achieve perfectly considering what you have to play with i.e not redoing the whole thing in the process.

@HMRCcustomers Will do - thanks for the swift response

Last year from Kinetic Pulse's Twitter

@HMRCcustomers I've submitted Self Assessment repayment requests multiple times over the past 6 months (always waiting 4 weeks between) and never has anything happened. There seems to be no way of tracking or chasing them either. Now, of all times, this is important

Last year from Kinetic Pulse's Twitter

Apologies to all clients who have had website issues today. There was a major outage for our hosting company @cloudabove but, as always, they have been fantastically open and transparent about what's going on and are working hard to restore service.
