 * Hi,
    I’ ve tested my site with nibbler ([http://nibbler.silktide.com/](http://nibbler.silktide.com/))
   and there is one error about gzip; I’m using WP Speed of Light of course.
 * Error:
    This website returns GZIP encoded content even if the client does not
   support compression. GZIP compression is good because it is widely supported 
   and reduces the load time of a web page. However, some devices and web crawlers
   might not support GZIP compression so your website should obey the accept-encoding
   HTTP header.
 * Recommendation:
    Ensure GZIP compressed content is only returned when the client
   sends the accept-encoding: gzip header.
 * So, what should be done?
 * Thank you in advance!
