Simply put, GZIP compression allows smaller files to be sent to your browser. Files ending in .zip and .rar are files that have been made smaller by compressing them into a ZIP file. These smaller files will improve the loading speed of your website and thus improve your ranking in Google. After all, higher loading speed is a ranking factor of the Google algorithm. To make the example a little more practical, let’s take a look at the number of kb’s of a file. Suppose you have a 100kb file, then you can use GZIP compression to reduce that file to 10kb. That’s a significant difference, don’t you think? GZIP compression is one of the many components of technical SEO and will help get the foundation of your SEO right.
