GZIP Compression Test

About GZIP Compression Test

Gzip compression can shrink text-based files by 70 percent or more before they leave the server, making it one of the highest-impact speed optimizations available. But it has to be enabled and configured. Our free GZIP Compression Test checks any URL in seconds.

Enter a URL to see whether gzip or Brotli is active, how large the original and compressed responses are, and how much bandwidth you are saving.

If compression is off

  • Enable it in your server config or hosting panel; it is usually one toggle.
  • Compress text assets (HTML, CSS, JS); images and video are already compressed.
  • Re-test after changes to confirm the savings are real.
