RokGZipper is a plugin whose primary aim is to improve the performance and speed of your site. It does this by compressing your CSS (stylesheets) and JavaScript files. For javascript files, it compresses them altogether (via GZip) and places them in the cache folder.
It differentiates between the pages so if you have a particular combination of scripts on one page, and a different combination on another, two files will be created and loaded independently, allowing your site to load much faster.

Does what it says. Excellent site performance after installing it.

I installed, and got a whole heap of errors come up on my home page, and I even use a Rockettheme template. So removed instantly.
This site Joomla Performance (as mentioned on another post)confused me. As I ran a test on Joomla Performance and got 10 fails out of 14. So their own site failed most of it's own tests. Strange!
Apart from that, the guys at Rockettheme do a great job.

I tested it twice on my website. It had no effect at all. Wonder how this is possible at all.
The plugin was published as well as nothing excluded.

I ran a site performance test at Joomla Performance (http://www.joomlaperformance.com/component/option,com_performance/Itemid,52/). I had only two items pass: HTML Size and Frames. Everything else failed.
I just happened to run across RokGZipper and installed it on a whim. Am I ever glad I did!
I immediately re-ran the performance grader from Joomla Performance and WOW! the software did exactly what it suggested it would do-- and even more!!
The performance test came back with everything passing except HTML Encoding >> Gzip, which still failed.
I'm estatic about this software. If you want to see immediate improvement in your site, PLEASE check this out.
(I have absolutely no connection to the developer. This is really a great product.)
