Question about gzip with Movable Type

Terence · 08-11-2002, 08:43 PM

My website is powered by Movable Type. RIght now, all pages generated by Movable Type are static .html pages. I was wondering if it would be worth it to have MT generate .php files instead for the sole purpose of using gzip compression?

Would the performance increase obtained from gzip compression outweight the slight performance hit in having the server parse each PHP file instead of serving up static HTML pages?

Thanks.

Whenever you have the choice between Static or Dynamic pages, the decision is pretty much a no brainer...

Keep it static...
