Keito Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Site URL: https://keitofitness.com I used a website speed test (https://tools.pingdom.com/#5fd89e0bef000000). My score was greatly impacted by lack of gzip compression: GRADE SUGGESTION F - 0/100 Compress components with gzip Compression reduces response times by reducing the size of the HTTP response. Gzip is the most popular and effective compression method currently available and generally reduces the response size by about 70%. Approximately 90% of today's Internet traffic travels through browsers that claim to support gzip. I've searched for how to compress with gzip within Squarespace, but cannot find any instructions, nor anything explicitly stating that this is not possible. Is it possible to perform gzip compression within Sqsp (as opposed to downloading & compressing the files with another program myself)? Thank you! TLCDesigns and dmarji 2 Link to comment

tick Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I'm also needing info on this and minification. Link to comment
simon.stjohn Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I would also appreciate information on this Link to comment
dmarji Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I'd also really appreciate this information - it would greatly benefit my site! Link to comment
geoff.dunkak Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 also curious about gzip. As I have found with some other page load recommendations, some things are sacrificed for the ease of use the Squarespace tool provides, that's fine, but it'd be good to know. Link to comment
Solution paul2009 Posted June 23, 2022 Solution Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) On 3/7/2022 at 3:56 AM, Keito said: I've searched for how to compress with gzip within Squarespace, but cannot find any instructions, nor anything explicitly stating that this is not possible. The recommendation only applies to web servers that are being built manually, not to Squarespace. The tool you are using is not “Squarespace-aware” and is therefore suggesting fixes that are not possible on this platform.

Chrissi Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Come on Squarespace. This is greatly impacting my site speed, get it together! Link to comment
p33photography Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I need help too! Their customer support is ridiculously unhelpful when it comes to increasing site speed. We need gzip AND .webp capabilities! Link to comment
Drewski Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I am also having the same issue. It's the #1 reason my site is a little slow according to speed tests. Please fix this squarespace! Link to comment
