 * I’m not sure how this plugin works, but it showed any difference in page loading
   time at my page. I checked it with Firebugs Net tool and Google’s Page Speed 
   Plugin for Firebug, also with Safari’s Developer tools
 * Any suggestions why it does not increase the speed at all?
 * I’m running WordPress 3.0.1
 * Thanks for your time…

 * Hi,
 * I’m the creator of Compression WP.
 * Basically what the plugin does is it enables GZIP compression on your website
   which compresses the data before it is sent to the web browser, which should 
   minimise the amount of data transferred.
 * If you use [http://www.whatsmyip.org/http_compression/](http://www.whatsmyip.org/http_compression/),
   you should see that the file size of your page is significantly smaller. When
   I used this tool on my test site, there was a data saving of around 71%.
 * Thanks!
