+# Compressing resource files will save bandwidth and so improve loading speed especially for users
+# with slower internet connections. TYPO3 can compress the .js and .css files for you.
+# 1) Uncomment the following lines and
+# 2) Set $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['BE']['compressionLevel'] = '9'
 
-# If the Apache modules mod_gzip or mod_deflate are activated, you should
-# use their compression functions instead.
-# You find an example configuration below.
