Bandwidth changes when gzip is enabled/disabled

Asked by Cui Pengfei 崔鹏飞 At 10 May at 06:30

I have a site that is hosting a js file among other things.

The site only has 1Mbps bandwidth, so I was expecting no more than 128KB/s.

But the tests showed unexpected results.

enter image description here

As the image shows, when gzip is disabled, I was getting about 80~90KB/s, which looks normal.

But when gzip is enabled, I was getting around 270KB/s.

This looks strange because I know the site only has 1Mbps.

How could this be explained?
