GZIP Compression

GZIP Compressed Size : 12 KB


GZIP compression is enabled.

Knowledge Base
GZIP is a generic compressor that can be applied to any stream of bytes: under the hood it remembers some of the previously seen content and attempts to find and replace duplicate data fragments in an efficient way - for the curious, great low-level explanation of GZIP. However, in practice, GZIP performs best on text-based content, often achieving compression rates of as high as 70-90% for larger files, whereas running GZIP on assets that are already compressed via alternative algorithms (e.g. most image formats) yields little to no improvement. It is also recommended that, GZIP compressed size should be <=33 KB

IP Canonicalization Test

Site failed IP canonicalization test.

Knowledge Base
If multiple domain name is registered under single ip address the search bots can label other sites as duplicates of one sites. This is ip canonicalization. Little bit like url canonicalizaion. To solve this use redirects.

URL Canonicalization Test

Site passed URL canonicalization test.

Knowledge Base
Canonical tags make your all urls those lead to a single address or webpage into a single url. Like :
<link rel="canonical" href="https://mywebsite.com/home" />
<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.mywebsite.com/home" />
Both refer to the link mywebsite.com/home. So all the different url with same content or page now comes under the link or url mywebsite.com/home. Which will boost up your search engine ranking by eliminating content duplication. Use canonical tag for all the same urls.
