Compression Checker
Compressed pages travel faster. The tool requests a page with compression allowed and shows which method the server used.
Checked by our server, free and without an account

What the tool looks at
- The content encoding of the response.
- Whether the HTML was sent uncompressed.
How it works
- Enter the address. Only public web addresses on the standard ports are accepted.
- Our server fetches what the check needs once, with its own honest bot name, and evaluates it.
- You get the evaluated values with a short explanation. Nothing from the page is stored.
More Performance tools
All tools- TTFB CheckerMeasure the time to first byte of a page – how quickly the server starts to answer.
- Page Size CheckerCheck how large the HTML of a page is – transfer size and uncompressed size, with a rating.
- DOM Size CheckerCount the HTML elements of a page – a large DOM makes rendering and interaction slower.
- HTTP/2 CheckerCheck whether a website is served over HTTP/2 – faster loading of many files over one connection.
- Brotli CheckerCheck whether a server supports Brotli compression – usually smaller than Gzip for text files.
- HTTP Requests CheckerCount the scripts, stylesheets, images and other files a page loads – fewer requests load faster.
- JavaScript Defer CheckerFind scripts that block rendering – external scripts without defer or async in the HTML of a page.
- Image Format CheckerCheck whether the images of a page use modern formats such as WebP or AVIF instead of large JPEG and PNG files.
- Lazy Loading CheckerCheck whether the images of a page are lazy loaded – images further down only load when they are needed.
The whole page in one audit
One audit runs more than 50 tests, rates them by severity and turns them into a score. Websites are re-checked on a schedule.
