Hi,
How Gzip compression relates to SEO?

 

[Nytshade]

It does help improve seo simply because it helps your website load faster and it saves bandwidth, especially for mobile devices.

Gzip compression is a effective way to speed up your site and save bandwidth. The faster your web loads, the more user friendly it will be and the more the search engines will like it.

Use:
Paste the following code into your .htaccess file

# compress text, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and XML
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript

# remove browser bugs
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
Header append Vary User-Agent
