how do you serve compressed gzip of js and css

[sasiko]

like how this site is doing using amazon cloudfront. can you do it via servers aswell? the latency are said to improve if you serve via .gz

Before serving a file from disk to a gzip-enabled client, this module will look for a precompressed file in the same location that ends in ".gz". The purpose is to avoid compressing the same file each time it is requested.

IPS4 will check to see if your server has it enabled and able to compress it then it will server gzip enabled files. If you aren't able to, please contact your hosting provider to ensure that your server is able to.

hi, thanks for your reply.

i run nginx and have this in server block

but it doesnt generate .gz

  location ~* /forum/uploads/(css|js)$ {
        access_log off;
        gzip_static on;
        expires    max;
        add_header ETag "";
        add_header Cache-Control "max-age=31449600, no-transform, public";
        add_header Content-Encoding  gzip;
        try_files    $uri $uri/ /forum/uploads/index.php; 
}

perhaps i did something wrong?

@Jim MMy server do have gz enabled But my forum still failed to generate js/css.gz. what am i doing wrong?
