One of the best ways to make your Box load faster is to reduce the file size of HTML, CSS and JS files.



Brotli – better than gzip

In contrast to many other hosting providers, we use the more powerful Brotli compression standard in addition to gzip.

👆 gzip is used as a fallback method when Brotli compression is not available.

💪 Basically: you don't need to worry about gzip compression at Raidboxes because your Box takes care of compression automatically for you.

Important: You can ignore all warnings and insights from tools like Google PageSpeed Insights regarding compression.

Compress CSS & JS

The situation is different when it comes to compressing CSS and JavaScript. You need to use plugins to do this. When choosing a plugin, make sure it doesn't use a caching function or that you can at least switch this option off. Otherwise, it will lead to conflicts with your Box cache.
