@dzuelke Is this what you're suggesting?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19746419/how-to-enable-compression-in-a-php-app-on-heroku

@dzuelke We already have a lot of tooling built around deploying to Heroku apps, so we get a lot for free. We use Cloudfront for assets.

@dzuelke How do I configure my static "PHP" app to Gzip static files (HTML, etc)?

Can I do that just in the .htaccess file?

Post more #selfies.

@dzuelke "Or how to configure the Web server to do it?"

We're actually serving all static HTML, no PHP.
