heroku-deflater

A simple rack middleware that enables compressing of your assets and application responses on Heroku, while not wasting CPU cycles on pointlessly compressing images and other binary responses.

It also includes code from github.com/mattolson/heroku_rails_deflate

Before serving a file from disk to a gzip-enabled client, it will look for a precompressed file in the same location that ends in “.gz”. The purpose is to avoid compressing the same file each time it is requested.

Installing

Add to your Gemfile:

gem 'heroku-deflater', :group => :production
