Gzip

Is there a Gzip that works with Hikashop.

Any suggestions for a Exstension to use?

What do you mean ?
gzip is a compression tool. I don't see the relation with ecommerce ?

I have experienced some Gzip compression extensions that broke other extensions.

Just asking if there is any gzip extensions i should avoid?

We didn't test any so far.

While reading through the google webmaster tools I used the Page Speed Insights and it was recommended to use GZip. There is the Joomla Gzip option within joomla admin as well as the Gzip option within my template. If used, will this negatively effect Hikashop? Thank you.

Hi,

I don't think it would generate problems with HikaShop.

Regards,

Ok, thank you. My site isn't too heavy, but I have a modified rocketheme template and they can be heavy. After researching through Google and Bing webmaster tools, I fixed a couple of things. Instead of adding any additional extensions I added the code below to solve google recommendations I went under developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed Leverage browser caching and dropped the code below into my .htaccess file. I'm going to test out the GZip option to see if I can minimize css and .js load time. I'll post results. Anything you can recommend would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to clean everything up as much as possible to give my site the best chance in google organic rankings.
