Interpreting the page results

If you get the big green checkmark (like our image above), your website is happily zipping files and all is sunshine and roses.

To check your .css or .js files, you enter the full path to these files to ensure they too are being compressed across the web.

My pages are not compressed!

If you fall into that bracket of webmasters who continually get red crosses, then your pages are not gzipped or compressed. There are simply too many variables for us to correct this for you in this study course. Seek out tips on google if you are a techie.

We offer this as a standard choice for websites we setup.

Many hosts have the ability for compression enabled, but not all do. So this is not a step that all can do. In some cases, moving hosts will remedy the problem. It is usually inexpensive for smaller sites and can even work out as a cheaper option for some webmasters.

Also, many websites fare just fine in the search engines that do not have compression enabled. You can do a quick check your self by entering some popular pages into the test field.

But enough about that, let's inspect some of our webpage code and ensure our pages begin to approxiamte world class standards with clean html coding. Sounds hard? Not really

 

Note: Small website owners paying more than $100 per year for their website hosting should contact us for a better deal. We include free setup and you get unlimited up/down load, emails and much, much more.
