 * I’ve set AO to gzip eerything. But what do we add to our htaccess so it uses 
   that instead of the uncompressed? Or what else do we need to set up?

 * well, that’s what these lines in the first link are supposed to do, rewrite autoptimize_xyz.
   css to autoptimize_xyz.css.gz;
 *     ```
       RewriteRule ^(.*)\.css$ $1.css.gz [QSA,L]
       RewriteRule ^(.*)\.js$ $1.js.gz [QSA,L]
       ```
