Cute Statistics.

When you say Google is Caching with Gzip, do you mean they cache the images and just download the html and parse that content?

No I mean they are actually accepting gzip encoded files if the server supports it. Its basically like googlebot asks for a zip (compressed) version of the html page. Usually this is about 1/20th the size for normal txt or html.

Awesome, that is interesting.

An outstanding analysis. Thanks Shoe.

You do have an interesting brain…

That is some great information and goes to show that google is the big pink elephant in the room.

Hopefully they READ your blog too.
You know what they say….
