Re: How to make your GWT app loading fast by using gzip in .htaccess file?

It all depends where the time is spent. If you have a good Internet connection, you won't see much improvement.

Log lightweight metrics (http://www.gwtproject.org/doc/latest/DevGuideLightweightMetrics.html) to have an idea where the time is spent (downloading, evaluating, etc.); you should also use the various tools that your browser provides.

Thank you very much for your answer. Ok, I got it but I still did not see it quicker after putting compression="on" into connector of conf/server.xml file. Something is wrong here.

.htaccess is an Apache HTTPD configuration file. Apache Tomcat won't honor it. The expected name is also ".htaccess", not "1.htaccess".

My GWT app got a problem . That is the Initial downloading file is quite big. So I want to make it smaller. SO I heard that we can put the gzip configuration into .htaccess file in ROOT folder and then all the .cache.html files will be zipped when downloaded from Server to user personal PCs.

So, here is my project structure. The project name Vala

tomcat7/vala/ROOT/  

in the ROOT folder there are:

ROOT/images  ROOT/vala  ROOT/WEB-INF  ROOT/vala.css  ROOT/vala.html  

in ROOT/vala folder there are:

ROOT/vala/deferredjs/  ROOT/vala/gwt/  ROOT/1BG....cache.html  ROOT/5D....cache.html  ... more cache.html file  

Now I create a 1.htaccess file as following (I copied this code from internet and don't understand it much):

<ifModule mod_gzip.c>  mod_gzip_on Yes  mod_gzip_dechunk Yes  mod_gzip_item_include file .(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$  mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$  mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.*  mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.*  mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.*  mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.*  </ifModule>  

Then i put this 1.htaccess file into ROOT folder ROOT/1.htaccess

However, nothing happened.
