"Mod_gzip, at http://www.remotecommunications.com/apache/mod_gzip/ is a module for Apache that allows you to compress content from an Apache web server on-the-fly. It uses the same compression as gzip and no plugins or extra software is needed by your browser to take advantage of this product. Reduction in size of up to 90% or more is possible."

"... Mod_gzip is amazing. You'll find large 100K HTML pages come down the wire as 12K compressed files. Your users will be very impressed by the new speed of your site.
