Description

Compress all documents that can be downloaded from a web page, unless compression doesn't bring much benefit (for example: web optimized PDF files).

Example

A DOC file weighing 7.8 MB will decrease to 5.5 MB after compression, which represents a 30% gain (default WinZip compression). Office files formats that can be easily compressed include:

  • Text documents (.doc, .docx, .rtf, .txt, etc.);
  • Spreadsheets (.xls, .xslx, etc.);
  • Presentations (.ppt, .pptx, etc.);
  • PDF documents;
  • Multimedia content (images, audio, and video).

Validation rule
