Which MIME type to compress? and what If I omit the `type` attribute from the HTML?
- by rockyraw
Per my request, my webhost had turned mod_deflate ON.
In my Cpanel I now have an "Optimize Website" button.
Inside that menu I could either choose:
"Compress all content" or "Compress the specified MIME types" with the following default MIME types: "text/html text/plain text/xml"
Which option should I choose and why?
If I choose option 2, which types should I add (is there a recommended list with the exact way they should be written)?
According to Google recommendations, I have omitted the type="text/css" attributes from all CSS references, as well as the type="text/javascript" attributes from all script references. Would this hinder the "gzipping" process?
