How to enable compression in Ruby on Rails?

Question

I posted a similar question here

Serving Compressed Assets in Heroku with Rack-Zippy

but decided to give up on that service, since I couldn\'t get it to work.

Answer 1

Enable compression

Add it to config/application.rb:

module YourApp
  class Application < Rails::Application
    config.middleware.use Rack::Deflater
  end
end
