Many website owners are following the GZIP Compression standard to upload compression versions of their files on the servers of their web host. GZIP Compression compresses the web files up to 70 to 80%. These files include CSS, HTML, and JS. It sends a compressed version of the file to the browser of the visitor instead of the large one. The visitor’s browser automatically decompresses the compressed file and displays the uncompressed version to the visitor.

Visitors like visuals, video content, graphics, and audio on the website. Merely text is not enough. But all these graphics make a website heavier. If the files are not compressed, the site or its page will take ages to load. This is likely to increase the bounce rate. When a visitor has to wait for a website to load, they simply close the tab. You must be aware of that already.

Want to reduce the bounce rate on your website? Use our Check GZIP Compression tool. It will check if the GZIP compression status is activated on your website or not.

To use the Check GZIP Compression tool, follow these steps:

Click on Check GZIP Compression tool

A new window will open up

Enter the URL in the provided space.

Click “Submit”

The results will show if your site is GZIP enabled

It will also show the percentage saved by compressing the page with GZIP

Once you can find the GZIP status of your site, you can take appropriate action from there.
