How about some GZip Encoding?!
I was wondering about the intensive ammount of traffic drawn from this Blogspirit account, and I concluded it had to do with the filesize of each HTML document (or PHP output). I simply ran a test on the subdomain and it turned out the following details by using the Leknor tool:
https://mikeschnoor.com is
not gziped.
If it were gziped the requested page (38910 bytes) would be the following sizes at:
| Level | bytes | % of orig size | 1k/sec | 3.5k/sec | 10k/sec | 100k/sec | utime |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 38926 | 100.0411 | 38 | 10.9 | 3.8 | 0.4 | 1 |

Eh???
To clarify something: The GZip function reduces the bandwidth for the server. Since Blogspirit’s free version grants you 250 MB bandwidth per month. Above is the example on how a non-reduced site like mine might look like if Blogspirit would include this functionality. ;)
