## Description

This plugin implements gzip output compression to speed up load times.

The plugin also does a check to see if browsers are incorrectly saying that they
do not support GZIP when they actually do. This can speed up load times for a significant
portion of users.

    ```
    For requests with missing or mangled Accept-Encoding headers, inspect the User-Agent to identify browsers that should understand gzip.
    * Test their ability to decompress gzip.
    * If successful, send them gzipped content!
    ```
