cPanel - Software - Optimize Website
Very useful if you wish for your site visitors to have a slightly better and faster experience when browsing your website. This is done using the gzip compression before sending it to the browser.

To disable compression of your website’s content, perform the following steps:

- 2) In the Mime Types text box, enter a space-separated list of the types of content that you wish to compress (for example, text/html text/plain text/xml).
