compression_test() WordPress Function
The compression_test() function is used to test the server's ability to compress files. This is important for website performance, as large files can take longer to load if they are not compressed. The function tests the server's Gzip and Deflate compression capabilities, and returns the results in an array.
compression_test() #
Tests support for compressing JavaScript from PHP.
Description
Outputs JavaScript that tests if compression from PHP works as expected and sets an option with the result. Has no effect when the current user is not an administrator. To run the test again the option ‘can_compress_scripts’ has to be deleted.
