Another known fact is that most website owners are not aware what they need to do to speed up their websites. That&#8217;s why we decided to enable gzip compression by default on all servers running the sPanel control panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to speed up my website?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"298\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scalahosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/gzip.png\" alt=\"Gzip Compression for Faster SPanel Websites\" class=\"wp-image-1374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scalahosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/gzip.png 550w, https:\/\/www.scalahosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/gzip-300x163.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 361px) 660px, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 910px, 1140px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>There are many many steps that you need to perform to make your website load quickly.

What can you do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important techniques you can use to make your website load fast is enabling gzip compression.
