        // if you want to reduce the bandwidth bill and increase page load time for long pages - this PHP snippet will turn on gzip compression for those that support it.

function compress_handler($in_output)
{
  return gzencode($in_output);
}
if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'],'gzip') !== FALSE)
{
  ob_start('compress_handler');
  header('Content-Encoding: gzip');
}
else
{
  ob_start();
}
