The other week I modified some TCP buffers and settings based on a recommendation I came across. This seemed to help speed up the page loads and reduce the noticeability of the AUS<->US latency of the site.
Tonight I enabled GZIP compression and it seems to have speed things up even more. What this means is the server will now compress all HTML, PHP, CSS and JScript files before it sends the page to you, reducing the time it takes for your browser to download the website. The upside is the server uses less bandwidth (essentially server speak for what you call a quota on your internet plan).
So has anyone noticed the server running quicker (or slower) as of late?
