Zlib compression
-
I have seem few tutorial about speeding up wordpress site, there its mentioned about enabling zlib compression through wordpress themes …
my question is :
if enabled , will zlib compression work for buddypress site ?what are the pros and cons for enabling zlib compression
-
Yes, enabling zlib compression by placing code in the header.php of a child theme will improve performance.
`<?php
ini_set(’zlib.output_compression’, ‘On’);
ini_set(’zlib.output_compression_level’, ‘1?);
?>`Source: WPMU.org
Additionally, you could enable W3-Total Cache as a plugin and gain other benefits, ie. CDN, Minify, database caching, object caching, browser caching, and user agent groups.

You cannot do both the plugin and the enabling of zlib compression in the header
