: Which MIME type to compress? and what If I omit the `type` attribute from the HTML? Per my request, my webhost had turned mod_deflate ON. In my Cpanel I now have an "Optimize Website" button.
Per my request, my webhost had turned mod_deflate ON.
In my Cpanel I now have an "Optimize Website" button.
Inside that menu I could either choose:
"Compress all content" or "Compress the specified MIME types" with the following default MIME types: "text/html text/plain text/xml"
Which option should I choose and why?
If I choose option 2, which types should I add (is there a recommended list with the exact way they should be written)?
According to Google recommendations, I have omitted the type="text/css" attributes from all CSS references, as well as the type="text/javascript" attributes from all script references. Would this hinder the "gzipping" process?

I would probably choose the second option, but add to that list text/css and text/javascript.
Basically you want to compress any text-based content, but not content like images, as these are already compressed.

That looks like Google's internal style guide, it's not meant for your website. However I wouldn't expect any issues from omitting mime types in that way. They're not required in HTML5.
