Tell HN: GZIP for Hacker News

39 pointsby mhusbyover 14 years ago
http://quickhn.appspot.com/<p>I got really tired of it taking forever to load HN when I was on EDGE so I took things into my own hands :-) Its just a simple proxy using google app engine, but it does gzip the pages. On a sample page with 103 comments the size went from 140.0K to 29.8K. All other features are functioning (submit new, upvoting, commenting).<p>The source is on github so feel free to deploy your own: https://github.com/matthusby/HN-Proxy

Wow. Why on Earth is HN not already being served gzipped? The performance difference is drastic.

You'd think they'd stick a proxy in front of the HN server to compress.
