Specify a Vary: Accept-Encoding Header

Table of Contents

Description

Many WordPress performance plugins are bloated and include features that you don’t need. This plugin does just one thing. It adds a “Vary: Accept-Encoding Header” to boost website performance.

When browsers make a request, they include HTTP headers for the server to decide what to send back. The Vary header describes what information identifies a request. Caches should only be used if the request matches the Vary information in the cache.

This plugin adds a rewrite rule to your WordPress directory’s .htaccess Apache file.

< IfModule mod_headers.c >

  < FilesMatch ".(js|css|xml|gz|html)$" >

    Header append Vary: Accept-Encoding

  < /FilesMatch >

< /IfModule >
