Once, while waiting for the download of one of the best webmail interfaces, I decided to see how much this interface weighs? The favorite firewall came to the rescue - according to Outpost, one of the connections from www.gmail.com ended just after downloading about 570 kb.
There was (and was asked ) a question: why does Google give uncompressed Javascript? How to speed up the painful loading process? The following responses were received:

As the measurements showed, with a secure connection, when downloading the same AJAX interface, 170 kb instead of 570 is downloaded. Delight! Thanks to the user develop7 for the best advice.
